If you are really set on using a preacher or other multimedia? If so, this suggestion is not for you.
Work through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation...and don't just read it, LIVE it. My mother did this with us when I was about 10 yo. I know the Bible pretty well and I credit that time with it.
We started with Genesis at night--lights off, curtains closed to block any stray light..."In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth, and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Spirit of God was moving over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light" ...and we all jumped up and ran through the house and turned on every light inside and out. And when God separated the land from the water, we had a plastic pan filled with mud and water and we moved the mud to one side, separating the "land" and water. When God created the sea creatures, we moved the fish tank into the room...when he created the animals, we gathered our toy animals to populate the "land" God created.
In Exodus, when the Children of Israel were wondering in the desert for 40 years, we were wandering around the sand box at the playground across the street.
We built the ark of the tabernacle, when the temple was built, we built the temple, we rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem with Jeremiah, we braved the hungry "lions" (aka our cats) with Daniel. When the things we had built were mentioned in later passages, we pulled them out
When we reached the New Testament, we built some of Jesus's parables (the one about the house on the sand and the house on the rock didn't work so well...) and when the crucifixion came, when the temple veil was torn, we cut the temple veil from our temple...
Looking back, I realize there must have been a lot of preparation on the part of my mother, but to me, this is the best way to learn the Bible.
