Whether you just pulled off VBS or you need something to look forward to, here are 9 ways to relax after VBS (without moving to a remote island).

1. Take a nap so long you wake up wondering what year it is. Bonus points if you drool on the couch and don’t even care.

2. Eat snacks you didn’t have to pre-portion into 100 baggies. Just you, a family-sized bag of something salty, and zero guilt.

3. Watch a movie where no one quotes Bible verses or asks if glue is edible. Preferably one where adults act like adults and no one yells, “I need to pee!”

4. Burn the leftover pool noodles in a ceremonial “we survived VBS” fire. (Okay, maybe don’t actually burn them. But imagine it.)

5. Hide your name tag and pretend you’re just a normal human for 48 hours. No one is allowed to call you “Miss Linda” or “Pastor Kevin” during this time.

6. Book a massage. Or just lay on the floor and hope gravity fixes your back.

7. Sit in silence. Literally. No songs. No crafts. Just… quiet.

8. Write down all the hilarious things kids said during the week. (Because you’ll forget them, and they’re comedy gold).

9. Celebrate! You just pulled off a full-blown VBS miracle. Heaven is cheering. Your coffee deserves a trophy.
