A card game
Name That Mask
The same thing can be done out of love or out of fear. The motive is what makes it a mask — and this is practice at hearing the difference.

What this game is for
Most of us are hiding behind something: performing, pleasing, holding it all together, staying busy enough not to feel it. The behaviour itself is not the mask. Two people can do exactly the same thing, and for one it is love and for the other it is fear.
So the game asks for both — which mask fits the scene, and why it fits. The why is the part worth having. It is the lie underneath, and that is the thing you can actually bring to God.
Winning earns nothing. Nothing here measures your faith. In Christ, acceptance is where you start, not a prize at the end. The masks are only what you get to put down along the way.
How to play
Solo is the timed one. A scene, two cards, a few seconds. Name the mask to shed it, score more for speed and for streaks, and when one mask is left it turns over into who you actually are.
Against the computer has no timer. You each hold four cards and race to empty your hand: play the card that fits the scene, then say why it fits. Get either wrong and you keep the card. Some scenes have no mask in them at all — a good thing done for a good reason — and naming that counts too.
