“Lot’s Wife: Knock Over the Salt Doll” is a new game I made up for my kids to internalize the story from Genesis 19. Lot and his family were living in Sodom, and every single person in the city was wicked. They surrounded Lot’s house and began breaking down the door to physically assault the people in Lot’s house.
Two angels struck the people from Sodom with blindness. The people from Sodom said that Lot was judging them, and they were hateful, even though they enjoyed injuring other people. This is why God was going to hail down fire and brimstone from heaven on them, destroying the entire city.
The angels grabbed Lot, his wife, and his two daughters, who ALL hesitated and didn’t want to leave. They were commanded to not look back. Lot’s wife didn’t care about obeying God. She turned her head back to the disgusting wickedness that she loved, and God turned her into a pillar of salt. This happened at the same time that fire rained down from heaven.
An easy craft to internalize this story is to dip a doll in glue, then dip her into salt. Now stand her up, and try to knock her down with a cardboard bolt of lightning. Go ahead and watch this short video to understand how to play the game “Lot’s Wife: Knock over the Salt Doll.”
