I don't know of any student who was part of a youth group that doesn't know how to play Chubby Bunny. It is a hilarious game that involves stuffing marshmallows into your mouth, one at a time. while trying to say the phrase "Chubby Bunny" after each marshmallow is inserted into said mouth.
While popular, I have not seen the game played in years. This is because of a infamous rumor that spread around youth groups that stated a girl died while playing chubby bunny. I never knew if it was true or not, but a visit to Snopes confirmed the rumor to be true. You can read the article here: Snopes Article on Chubby Bunny Urban Legend.
So with the news now confirmed, I can confidently say my students will never ever play Chubby Bunny under my watch. Rather, we will stick to safer games like Anarchy Ball, Savage Women, and other such games where students are required to tackle and maim each other.
Can't wait until my kids are old enough to be in youth group, but I'll have to make sure their health insurance covers freak youth group accidents!
