Mother’s Day Singing Time Ideas
This post will help you find all of my Mother’s Day songs teaching ideas around this blog. Plus, I’m also sharing additional favorite lesson plans from other Primary music leaders at the end of this post!
Mother’s Day Ideas for ANY Song:
1. Flowers for Mom
Print out these gorgeous flowers to make a custom bouquet of flowers for Mother’s Day right in your Primary room. You can then send the Junior primary children home with a flower to gift to their mom with something they love about her written on the back.
2. Make a Mom Paper Doll
Bring in this cute paper doll mom and mix and match her clothes, hair, and accessories to make a mom to sing your Mother’s Day song to! Then, mix it up again and sing to the next mom. The younger primary children will love to recreate their mom!
3. Women in the Scriptures
There’s so much we can learn from the amazing women in the scriptures! You can incorporate this meaningful lesson plan into teaching your choice of Mother’s Day song to skip games and teach about strong women from the scriptures!
4. Mother’s Day in Her Shoes
Bring in a bunch of different shoes from your closet and let the kiddos lead the music while trying on one of your pairs of shoes! Or, use the singing style that matches the shoes they pick from the basket.
5. Would Mom Rather?
Let the children share about their mom’s favorites with this really fun game to divide your Primary room into two groups! Ask them which would their mom rather from a choice between two different options.
6. Cards for Mom
Use this adorable Cards for Mom singing time lesson plan to try to guess the song from a quote from the lyrics. Then, sing through a mix of Mother’s Day songs. This is a great way to pick a song to teach or expand their exposure to different songs. It’s also a PERFECT activity to do on Mother’s Day Sunday and send home a colored in card for mom from your lesson!
