Roller Peps, a series aimed at children and produced by the streaming platform Feliz7Play, won the bronze crown in the category of Best Children's Production at the 49th edition of the International Christian Visual Media Crown Awards (ICVM). The ranking was released earlier this March. The award takes place annually and recognizes the best Christian-themed audiovisual content.

On the screens, the characters live everyday situations that bring lessons in civics, respect, love for God and neighbor, care, and biblical and social values. Available in Portuguese, Spanish, English, and Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), the series is inclusive: the protagonists walk on wheels, a way found by the producers to make children with special needs feel represented.

For Carlos Magalhães, digital strategies manager at the Adventist South American headquarters and one of the creators of Feliz7Play, this achievement highlights the Adventist Church's contribution to the development of children. "The award represents the recognition of the quality of the content for the Christian education of children," he emphasizes.

Since its release, Roller Peps has become an educational tool. In addition to support for parents of young children, Christian schools have also used the series to teach values. Additionally, it even became a theme for children's parties.

"It focuses on presenting moral and educational principles to an age group that learns mainly through stories but that still cannot absorb abstract concepts. Through characters, children learn to identify behaviors and are encouraged to copy what is positive and to reject what is negative," explains Magalhães.

Impact and Practical Relevance

In the view of music educator Lucila Andrade, Roller Peps is fun and full of practical examples of Christian values, ​​presented in a way that little ones understand. “It's the application, in their language, of beliefs and verses that sometimes seem beyond children's understanding,” she describes.

The contents of Feliz7Play, she emphasizes, are an addition to the Christian education that she and her husband strive to offer their children, Luíza and Arthur. “Here at home, we use it to complement the stories from the [Sabbath School] lesson, as meditation and also for them to learn more about the Bible.”

Translator Cecília Eller Nascimento has a similar perception. For her, the streaming platform conveys the security that when her children are in contact with the productions, they are in front of reliable material. “We have the peace of mind that at the same time they watch something fun, they are learning, growing, and this makes us very happy,” she says.

Roller Peps talks about friendship, faithfulness to the Bible, [and] the importance of the Sabbath. In a very relaxed way, the children gain access to a series of biblical values ​​that, for our family, are very important,” Nascimento adds.
