Text "TALK" 67101 to receive questions inspired by 'Scrooge: A Christmas Carol' from a Child Psychologist that will spark conversations with your children

Post this

According to PBS and the National Institute of Health, listening to podcasts with your children encourages conversation and fosters their imagination.

  • By listening to podcasts, children are exposed to learning in an entirely new way.
  • Every child learns differently and audio media unlocks a new experience for auditory, kinesthetic and visual learners.

"Parents appreciate the unique elements that audio media offers to their children. The vivid descriptions, satisfying sounds and elevated vocabulary serves as a linguistic playground for listeners. This way of audio learning can provoke thought, imagination and inspire family conversation in the midst of the busy holiday season."

Cynthia Tobias M.Ed., D.H.L.

Just in time for Holiday travel and family gatherings, Hope Media Group and Compassion International are encouraging parents and grandparents to share the much-loved story, SCROOGE: A Christmas Carol, with their families. This four-part, fully dramatized adaptation of "A Christmas Carol'' by Charles Dickens will get the entire family in the Christmas spirit. While being true to the original story, screenwriter P.G. Cuschieri and creator/producer Mark Ramsey, imagined fresh story elements with beloved actors Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings) & John Rhys-Davies (Indiana Jones). This unique audio experience reimagines an old classic and encourages conversations between parents and their children.

"The Scrooge: A Christmas Carol podcast unfolds in four engaging and imaginative parts in lengths easily consumable by younger audiences. This unique breakdown not only creates moments of discussion for parents, grandparents and/or caregivers with the children in their lives, but sparks conversation about redemption and forgiveness in this reimagined version. Listening along with the entire family allows everyone to experience a new take on an old classic through the fresh eyes of children."

SYNOPSIS

This four-episode adaptation of "Scrooge: A Christmas Carol," by Charles Dickens brings the characters we all know and love to life unlike ever before through a star-studded dramatic audio adaptation in podcast form. Ebenezer Scrooge, a self-obsessed miserable miser of all things un-merry and un-bright, is everything Christmas isn't. After he is visited by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, Scrooge transforms into a new man and embodies all the best parts of Christmas. Through this journey of transformation, listeners will encounter themes of joy, mercy, hope, and more. This new re-telling of the holiday classic will entertain, inspire, and remind you that even the hardest of hearts can find redemption. The story of Scrooge is a known commodity and has been a well-loved story for nearly 180 Christmases past.
