The 13 Best VBS Theme Ideas
Church · Jun 29, 2022 · BabylonBee.com

Summer is here, which means it's time for kids to be thrown into week-long Vacation Bible School programs. If you're helping your church run a VBS program you could stick to tried and true themes like "Jesus Is A Superhero," or you can branch out and try something more exciting!

Here are the best new VBS themes for your church:

  1. Game of Thrones: Explore what the world looked like before the flood!
  2. Hunger Games: Pit every child against each other in a battle to the death for the most snacks. So just like regular VBS.
  3. Sinners in the hands of an angry God: Those little sinners will never know what hit 'em!
  4. Dante's Inferno: Kids will explore the indescribable horrors of the 9 circles of hell and never misbehave again! Nice!
  5. A day in the life of Job: You'll just have to explain to parents why their kids are covered in festering sores.
  6. Make America Great Again: The teachings of Trump can bring us closer to heaven on earth! MAGA!
  7. BLM: Jesus loves all the little children — red and yellow and black. Not white.
  8. #Ukraine: Virtue signal for Ukraine and maybe they will find the gospel.
  9. Nephilim: Be prepared to answer lots of questions.
  10. One of you is Judas: It's kind of a cool take on the popular board game Secret Hitler, but...
  11. 9/11: Only the gospel can melt the steel beams of your heart!
  12. Fyre Festival: A fraudulent luxury music festival that shows children the depravity of mankind.
  13. Breaking Gospel: Paul and Luke in the roles of Walter and Jesse, but they're writing the Bible and spreading the gospel to millions.

Now get out there and teach some kids!
