We are delighted to once again have the Cheeky Pandas on board for Thy Kingdom Come 2022!
Cheeky Pandas and Thy Kingdom Come are partnering together to bring you a variety of free resources that seek to get children excited about Jesus, the Bible and prayer, and ultimately, help each child build a beautiful life-long relationship with Him… with some panda fun along the way!
We have a fun filled, bible-based TV series for use in family services, assemblies, and at home, featuring songs, animated stories, prayer and interviews with special guests. Alongside this, we have activity packs, service plans, a prayer book, a children’s app, and our Prayer Bears - each with an illustrated prayer book in their bag!
These free resources are designed to equip churches and parents in nurturing and encouraging children in their faith. You can fill out the form further down this page to be kept informed of details and resources.
You can see an overview of the series here.

Family Adventure Prayer Map & App
We're thrilled to announce that our Thy Kingdom Come Children's Augmented Reality App has now been updated for 2021!
Created by Missional Generation, the app brings the Cheeky Pandas to life, helping children to pray and put into action the lessons they have learned in the Cheeky Pandas video series, through 11 brand new games and reflections. The episodes can also be watched through the app, and you can play them and the games as many times as you like - it's all available now!
Using Augmented Reality, and our Adventure Prayer Map, you can use a smartphone to activate digital immersive content that responds to the user's movements. Due to Covid-19, we were not able to share as many of our physical copies of the Adventure Prayer Map, so we have produced a sticker to update the map (order the map here), or print our new A4 version here!
The app has also been updated with a non-AR experience for non compatible phones and for use without a physical prayer map.
So how does it work? Download the app by searching TKC MAP AR in your app store and open it up. You can now select your game play mode, using AR and a physical map, or in non-AR mode.
Download the app here;
If you have an android phone without AR capability, you will find that your phone will try to send you to the google app store when you launch the app. Instead of doing this, please click the device's back button (found on the bottom left hand side of your screen). By clicking this back button, you will launch the non-AR version of the games. You can watch this video that helps explain how to resolve the issue.
To use the AR version of the app, you will need to use an iPhone 5 device or above. Android users need at least 2GB of ram, Android 7.0 (SDK 24) and higher and ARM/ARM64 processor to run this app. This will be the majority of devices on the market since 2016.
Pandamonium (Cheeky Pandas Songs)
The songs in the episodes can be found on all streaming platforms in the Pandamonium album!
Each song will be available in animated lyric video form, or you can dance along with Herbie via the action video! Head over to the Cheeky Pandas YouTube channel and make sure you subscribe so that you are notified as these are released over the coming weeks.
Lyrics, chord sheets, backing tracks and stems can be found over on the Cheeky Pandas website.
Panda Prayer Trail
The Growing Faith Initiative from the Diocese of Coventry have created an amazing Panda Trail resource to help take Thy Kingdom Come out into the community over the 11 days.
You can download and print the 11 panda stations, hide them in your church grounds, local park or even high street, and then encourage people to go and find them.
Each station has a question to ponder and a response idea, following the daily themes of Thy Kingdom Come, as well as QR code taking you to the related Cheeky Pandas video.
Is this something you could do for your community or church? You can download all the resources and find more details on their website here.
