Mother’s Day Activities for Primary School

Mother’s Day is an awesome opportunity for fun classroom activities. These ideas will help your students express their creativity, as well as their appreciation for the awesome women in their lives.

Poem to Mama

There is no end to the fun to be had with this activity. You could have your students write an acrostic poem, with every line starting with one word in ‘mother’ or the name of every individual child’s mother, for example. You can have the children write their poems on regular paper or cut out shapes on cartridge paper beforehand for the students to write their poems.

Love Letter

Instead of having the students write something structured like a poem, have them write a story or a letter. Give them the freedom to express it the way they want, and have them give it to their mothers or other women in their lives when they get home.

Custom cards

With some simple, folded construction paper and crayons, your students can create beautiful cards for their mothers. Have them draw their own unique covers and little notes on the inside. Don’t forget to have them sign the cards!

Sing it out

Have a singalong with your students, teaching them a special sing that they can song to their mothers when they get home. There are so many mother-themed songs out there that the possibilities are endless.

Motherboard

Co-opting a bulletin board for Mother’s Day is a great way to showcase how important mothers are to our little ones. You can title it something like “Amazing Moms” or “Moms are Awesome” and post photos or drawings of the students’ mothers on it, along with little notes and ribbons.

Tea Party

Invite the women in the children’s lives to the classroom for an afternoon tea party! You can even have the students make cards with the words “You Are Tea-rrific” and tape tea bags on the inside. Little cupcakes and sandwiches along with the tea would make it even better.

Put on a Show

Have the students come up with a little play or have a talent show and invite their mothers and other female family members to enjoy. The students get to stretch their artistic wings and their family gets an adorable show.

Reading Time

Collect some books about mothers, grandmother’s aunts, etc., and invite the family to sit and read with their children.

Any of these can be done in combination, so have fun with your students! If you have any other interesting mother’s day activities for primary school, feel free to help us make the list more complete.
