It's 4 AM and I'm sitting in my bathtub fully clothed eating animal crackers because I accidentally taught kids that God runs elimination tournaments.

Made Noah's flood into dodgeball yesterday. Now Marcus is asking his mom if God gets bored and starts target practice on neighborhoods with tornadoes.

Thought I was revolutionizing Sunday school with interactive Bible games. Ended up with Emma having breakdown because she got eliminated from ark boarding game and thinks God personally selected her for drowning.

Tonight we're diving deep into every creative Bible lesson that traumatized children instead of teaching them. David and Goliath slingshot tournaments. Ten plagues adventure stations. Musical chairs with the ten virgins that gave kids panic attacks.

Plus what happens when you turn sacred stories into horror films. How parents react when their children develop meteorological anxiety from your flood activities. And why simple storytelling beats elaborate games every single time.

Warning: you might recognize your own theological disasters here. We've all been there apparently.

For teachers who've accidentally made Bible stories terrifying, leaders whose creative lessons created childhood trauma, and anyone ready to admit that maybe games aren't always the answer.
