Our DCE (aka "Youth Pastor") did something similar at a youth retreat a couple years ago where he had the youth write down anything they want to get off their chest on a scrap piece of paper - unsigned, of course, fold it , and nail it to a small wooden cross. That cross still hangs in the youth room with our burdens attached - folded and nailed. I think it was very effective visual of giving your burdens to Christ and using the actual hammer and nails. It sounds like your clown way is cool too!
