Steve Legg, creator of award-winning Christian children’s book ‘It’s A Boy’, announced the release of a new board game based on the book to release this Christmas.

After a year in which the 'It's A Boy' project got hundreds of thousands of UK school kids thinking and talking about the true meaning of Christmas, Legg announced the release of the board game along with a special edition of the DVD set for release in September.

As an evangelist with a determination to break through barriers that threaten to keep Christ out of the classroom, Legg's passion drives 'It's A Boy' out to wherever it is most needed.

"When it comes to spreading the gospel," says Steve, "the deaf population are the third most unreached people group."

Legg added subtitles in Spanish as well as English due to requests, which increased the film's potential, and with free copies going out to each of the 1650 Special Schools in the UK this autumn, thousands more school kids are set to come face to face with the truth about Christ's birth.

Says Steve, "[The board game] is a creative way of making people laugh, of entertaining them at the same time as getting them thinking about Christmas."

"It's so easy for Christians to moan and complain that Jesus is being pushed out of Christmas, but we've found that there are some things that can be done about it."

1000 copies of the game will be given away to the first 1000 schools that request one.

Last year 'It's A Boy' - the animated movie featuring the voices of Cannon and Ball, Steven Berkhoff and Joe Pasquale and soundtrack from Sir Cliff Richard - premiered at the Odeon Leicester Square. Copies were sent to every UK Primary School and the DVD was shown in assemblies and classes at over 800 schools. The book based on the film was awarded Children's Book of the Year at this year's Christian Booksellers' Convention and teachers across the country have accessed free lesson and assembly plans at www.itsaboy.org.uk
