About Rotation.org's 24 Downloadable Software Programs
These 24 programs were designed as interactive lessons and activities to enrich any curriculum or model of Sunday School, as well as provide wholesome and enriching fun at home. Supporting Members can download them and FREELY SHARE them with your church's families and Sunday School. (May not otherwise be publicly distributed, i.e., don't offer them as a download from your website.)
They all work on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. The free downloads include the updated Teaching Guides for each program, along with tech and installation helps. Our posts for each program include links to lesson plans here at Rotation.org that use these programs.
Age range varies though the sweet spot is grades 3-6. Check the description page and preview the software.
Links to the descriptions and guides:
Some programs are like computer games with lesson content.
Some programs are more like fun interactive Bible storybooks. Some are interactive stories that play like adventure games!
Some work great with an adult guiding younger children.
Some are more suited for older kids, and those with plenty of time to use them.
All can be "presented" by the teacher around a single screen or projected.
Most were designed to be optimally used by 2 or 3 students at a computer with a teacher "guide by the side." See each program's "guide" for tips on different ways to teach with the software.
None need the internet to work after downloading them. They completely install and work from your PC.

Who is Sunday Software?
Sunday Software is the software resource ministry of Rev. Neil MacQueen, a Presbyterian minister (PCUSA) specializing in Christian education. Neil was one of the founders of the Rotation Model and currently serves as Rotation.org's webmaster. For 24 years, Neil resourced, supported, and created children's Bible software in his own independent ministry. He also wrote many of the computer workshop lessons found at our site. In 2020 he made 18 of his titles available to the Supporting Members of Rotation.org, and in 2022 was given permission by the copyright owner to bring us the 6 Interactive Kids Bible programs. Neil also reviews and recommends Bible "apps" and new software for Rotation.org.
Neil writes:
It has always been my dream to be able to "give away" the software I created, and the time definitely feels right—especially considering what churches and budgets are going through due to the COVID pandemic. It's also not lost on me that my software can be a great "at home" teaching resource too.
I'm also endlessly grateful to Rotation.org for its creative mission, its members and leaders, and for the work we share together.
I have updated all the software guides and even made some technical improvements in a few of the programs in preparation for making them available at Rotation.org.
I hope my software enjoys its new home at Rotation.org and in your church, and that you will enjoy teaching with them as much as I do.
I'm also thrilled to include six of the beloved "Interactive Kids Bible" programs for PC and want to thank EPC their publisher for allowing us to make them available.
For more on teaching with computers in Christian education, consult our Computer Workshop design forum. There you'll also find descriptions and links to downloadable Bible "apps" for children.
