5 Mother’s Day Activities That Kids & Moms Will Love
Here are 5 lovely Mother’s Day crafts for church:
1. Mother’s Day Card: Bearing Fruit
Give each child a packet of fruit or vegetable seeds and a sheet of construction paper. Ask a child to read aloud Galatians 5:22-23 about the fruit of the Spirit. Talk about these Scriptures as children fold their papers in half to make cards.
On the front of the cards, have children write, “Mom, you plant the seeds…” Inside the cards on the right-hand side, have children glue their seed packets and write, “…that’ll help me bear fruit for Jesus.” On the inside left-hand page, have kids write the words from Galatians 5:22-23. Then have children sign their cards. Mothers will treasure this encouraging card.
2. Mother’s Day Song: My Mother Is So Special
Teach children this song to the tune of Oscar Mayer’s “The Bologna Song.” Have children sing it to their moms during your worship service.
My mother is so special, she means so much to me.
She’s patient, understanding, and as gentle as can be.
She’s lots of fun to be with and she’s always there for me.
That’s why she’s a great example of J-E-S-U-S to me.
3. Give Mom a Hand
Theme: Mother’s Day text: Proverbs 31:28-31
Preparation: In a box or paper sack, place different kinds of gloves. You’ll also need a Bible.
The Message: Read the Scripture.
Say: What does this Bible verse tell us to do? God tells us to praise our moms and say great things about them so everyone will know how terrific they are! Today, we’ll give our moms a special hand. Gloves are good for lots of things. Let’s see how these gloves help us.
Give each child at least one glove.
Then say: Hold up your glove and tell how it reminds you of things your mom does. Our moms sure do lots of different things!
Collect the gloves.
Say: Let’s pray. Dear God, thanks for our moms and other special women who work, play, clean, cook, and love us with their hands. Show us how to honor them every day. Amen.
Say: Now, let’s use our hands to praise our moms!
Lead kids in applauding for their mothers.
