Mother's Day

This is a great day to sing to sing about Mother's and families in general.  Choose songs that the children will enjoy singing and perhaps even go home singing them.

• Happy Family p. 198
• Mother Dear p. 206
• Love Is Spoken Here p. 190
• The Dearest Name p. 208
• When We're Helping p. 198

Suggest to the children that they find a way to serve their mothers and family.

Appreciating Women

Mother's Day is a great time to be thankful for all the women in our lives. Choose several songs to review including some family songs.

Ask the children to think about all the women/girls in their lives.  You may have to give them an example or two to get them thinking.

• mother
• grandmother
• great grandmother
• aunts
• sister
• neighbor
• teacher - primary, school, music, coach, dance, doctor, dentist, etc.

Have one or two children tell something about a special girl in their lives, then sing one of the songs.  Continue this activity.
