Abstract

An adaptable Bible teaching sound board device facilitates teaching of the books of the Bible using changeable periodic reward sounds and songs combined with sequentially presented book related sounds. The device includes a processor, a speaker, and a memory unit coupled to a housing. Each of a plurality of book buttons coupled the housing corresponds to a respective book of the Bible. Each of a plurality of book sound records stored on the memory unit is broadcast through the speaker by the processor upon manipulation of the book buttons. Reward buttons coupled to the housing are operationally coupled to the processor and actuate a plurality of reward sound records. A communications port is communicatively coupled to the processor and the memory unit for customization of the reward sound records on the memory unit.
