Out Thoughts …

Captain Bayley’s Heir is another wonderful Heirloom Audio production!  We listened to it in the car as well as the house.  While we were listening Sweet Pea exclaimed “Mom!  I recognize his voice from Beric the Briton!” (Another wonderful  Heirloom Audio production that we have listened to.)  She loves their productions and asked for us to add Captain Bayley’s Heir to her iPod so she can listen to it whenever she wants to.

There is something new to me which I love!  It is the Live the Adventure Club website!  From the website you can listen to the audio production!  Heirloom Audio provides a copy of the script so you can follow along while listening to the audio drama.  The script has an automatic highlighter that follows along with the drama.  There are 10 highlight colors to choose from as well as you have the option of the background and text colors as well (white background and black text or black background and white letters).

There is an autocorrecting multiple choice quiz that can also be taken on the club website.  If you answer correctly the answer lights up in green.  If you are incorrect, your answer is lit in red and the correct answer is in green.  The quiz questions are the Listening Well questions from the study guide. However, in the study guide they are not multiple choice.

The study guide is also available on the Live the Adventure Club website.  The study guide includes the Listening Well questions mentioned above, Thinking Well questions which require a longer answer, as well as a list of vocabulary words.  Also, available on the Live the Adventure Club are other downloads such as an e-book of the audio drama, the official soundtrack, a printable cast poster, a printable copy of the inspirational hymn, and a desktop wallpaper download.

The Live the Adventure Club website is much more than access to items related to the audio drama production.  There is also an online community as well as kid activities and parent resources related to the audio dramas produced by Heirloom Audio.
