What is a course?
Superbook Academy is a multiyear Christ-centred Sunday School resource that focuses on stories from Genesis through Revelation. Each course focuses on one Bible story and includes three lessons.
- Lesson 1 identifies the primary Bible message in the episode. A Discipleship Challenge (practical application) is introduced to help children personalise and incorporate scriptural principles into their everyday lives throughout all three lessons of the course.
- Lesson 2 focuses on the message as it relates to the world both historically and today.
- Lesson 3 highlights how the message ultimately comes full circle in God’s plan of sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Saviour.
Each course in Superbook Academy includes a set of three lessons focused on one Bible story, complete with videos and teaching materials. Each of the three lessons can last from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on class time available.

How is the lesson time divided between videos and teaching?
Superbook Academy strikes the perfect balance between attention-grabbing media and hands-on ministry. Exciting videos are shown during Large Group to engage and captivate the children, followed by lots of time for personal interaction in Small Group, where teachers develop warm relationships with students as they nurture their faith in Christ.
All videos are shown during Large Group, which lasts about 30 minutes. The longest video—the full Bible story video shown during Lesson 1—is about 20 minutes long. All other videos are much shorter, ranging from 2 to 10 minutes in length. These include the Bible Background and music videos shown in Lesson 2, and the Signposts and The Salvation Poem music videos shown in Lesson 3. Plus, the Condensed Bible Story video (about 10 minutes) may be shown in Lessons 2 and 3 if any children missed the full Bible story in Lesson 1.
No videos are shown during Small Group, which lasts about 30 minutes and can expand up to 60 minutes with Additional Activities.
What is in a Superbook Bible story video?
Every Superbook Academy course is based on one Superbook episode. Each animated video features modern-day friends Chris and Joy, along with their comical robot, Gizmo, who face some type of dilemma that any child can relate to. For example, they are confronted by a bully, they are tempted to cheat on a test, they disobey their parents, or they get lost on a hike. That’s when Superbook takes them back in time to meet a Bible hero who faced a similar type of problem. By seeing how that person faithfully deals with the difficulty, the children are equipped and empowered by God’s Word to overcome their own challenge.
The Emmy®-nominated Superbook animation videos are broadcast across America and around the world, bringing the Bible to life for the next generation.
Each video is shown in two sections during Large Group of Lesson 1. The opening dilemma, in which Chris, Joy and Gizmo face a modern-day challenge, lasts about 3 minutes. After a discussion, the full Bible story and resolution is shown, lasting about 19 minutes. A condensed Bible story video (lasting about 10 minutes) is available in each course, to show in Lessons 2 and 3 for any children who missed the full Bible story in Lesson 1.
What materials are included in each course?
Each Superbook Academy course includes:
- Three complete lessons that can be used once a week for Sunday school, children’s church, Bible clubs, or midweek services; three days in a row, such as for homeschool or vacation Bible school (VBS); or even all on one day, for a retreat.
- Every course features its own Bible story video, Bible Background video, Signpost video, and music videos.
- Each of the three lessons include easy-to-follow Leader Guides for Large Group, Small Group, and Additional Activities.

- Clear teacher instructions, Bible memory verses and ample activities, games and beautifully designed, printable materials.
- Original professionally produced music videos featuring the Superbook dancers and/or animation from the Bible story, providing children an opportunity to learn to worship the Lord.

- Teacher Dashboard that allows teachers to plan, prepare and present lessons from any Internet-connected device on any screen, with no special software to install.

My church does not have Internet access; can we still use Superbook Academy?
Yes, you can easily use Superbook Academy without Internet access in one of two ways. You can download the Academy videos on the Vimeo app for free offline viewing, or you can purchase a supplemental DVD for any course you wish to teach, and you can show the videos using the DVD instead of streaming. (A Superbook Academy subscription is required for DVD purchase.)
DVDs for all courses are available for purchase within the subscription account management portal or the Academy dashboard.
Note that the DVDs include videos only, and do not have the Leader Guides, printable crafts, and other supplemental resources that are only available online.

The supplemental DVDs are available for people to purchase if they do not have WiFi or if they prefer to use a DVD player instead of streaming the videos. Note that the DVDs include videos only, and do not have the Leader Guides, printable crafts, and other supplemental resources that are only available online.
Can I edit or customise the Leader Guide?
As you preview the activities in the Leader Guides, you may hide the sections you do not want to use so you only see (or print) the sections you wish to include in your presentation. Text within individual sections cannot be edited.

What is taught in Small Group for each lesson?

- Fun game to reinforce the Bible story and engage the students
- Bible teaching with discussion questions and suggested answers
- Discipleship Challenge to encourage children to put the lesson into practice

No videos are shown during Small Group.
What happens in Large Group for each of the three lessons in a course?
- Lesson 1: Children are introduced to the SuperTruth, which is the lesson’s theme. They see a short introductory video where Chris, Joy and Gizmo—the modern-day characters in Superbook—face a dilemma to which any child can relate. After a brief discussion, the full Superbook Bible video is shown, followed by the introduction of the SuperVerse, a prayer, and dismissal to Small Group.
- Lesson 2: Children view the Condensed Bible Story, a music video, plus a Bible Background video exploring the archaeological, historical and cultural context of the story. Students are also introduced to the SuperTruth and SuperVerse for the lesson before praying and going to Small Group.
- Lesson 3: Children view the Condensed Bible Story, the Salvation Poem video, and a Signposts video showing how the story points to Christ, or how He fulfilled biblical prophecy. Students are also introduced to the SuperTruth and SuperVerse for the lesson before praying and going to Small Group.
Will I need to find or purchase lots of extra materials for games and lessons?
Superbook Academy is designed to be used by churches of all sizes around the world—so the materials needed for games and lessons are quite simple. You can probably find most of them in your kitchen pantry or your church’s broom closet! Plus, the Leader Guides feature beautifully designed crafts, posters, and other supplemental materials that are quick to print and will help make the lesson more meaningful for your students.
What is the basic premise of each Superbook episode?
Superbook features two friends named Chris and Joy, along with their comical robot, Gizmo. In each episode, they face some type of dilemma to which any child can relate. For example, they are confronted by a bully, they are tempted to cheat on a test, they disobey their parents, or they get lost on a hike. That’s when Superbook takes them back in time to meet a Bible hero who faced a similar type of problem. By seeing how that person faithfully deals with the difficulty, the children are equipped and empowered by God’s Word to overcome their own challenges.
I already own the regular Superbook DVDs. Can I just purchase the Superbook Academy materials and not the videos?
It’s great that you already own some Superbook DVDs! However, the Bible story videos are just the beginning of what is included in Superbook Academy. For each three-lesson course, you will also want to show your students all the other exciting videos that are exclusively available with your subscription to Superbook Academy, including:
- The Bible Background video, showing the archaeological, historical and cultural context of each course

What is Superbook?
In 1981, The Christian Broadcasting Network created a children’s animated Bible series as part of an outreach to the nation of Japan. Little was it realized what impact the series would have in Japan and throughout the world.
Research performed during and after the outreach showed that this series was an unprecedented success. Superbook, also known as Animated Parent and Child Theater, is an anime television series produced by Tatsunoko Productions in Japan in conjunction with The Christian Broadcasting Network in the United States. During its launch in Japan, it is estimated that over 4 million people watched each weekly episode of Superbook on television, resulting in the Bible becoming the best-selling book in that country.
From Japan, the Superbook series went on air throughout the world from Asia to North America. By 1989, in the midst of economic and political turmoil, Superbook began broadcasting in the Soviet Union to astounding results and aired during prime time on the Soviet National Channel. CBN received over 6 million letters from children, introducing a whole new generation to the Bible. Even today, the Superbook Kids Club is one of the highest rated live-action children’s programs in Ukraine.
Since first airing in Japan, the series has now been broadcast in over 100 countries, translated into over 40 languages, and viewed by over 500 million people.
CBN is producing a reimagined, computer-generated version of Superbook. The goal is to produce a new series that will honor the life-changing legacy of the original, and reintroduce it to the new, media-
savvy generation.
This new series is created by an Emmy® Award-winning team whose credits include Disney’s The Lion King, Mulan,and Beauty and the Beast. It has the potential to reach even more lives than the original series with powerful lessons that present spiritual truths and maintains biblical accuracy.
