Childrens Sunday School Activities

Here are childrens Sunday school activities to use with your 9-11 year olds for your Mother’s Day lesson.

Teaching your class the many roles of a mother and how to honor them on this day is special.  The role of a “mother” can be provided by anyone in the child’s life who provides the role of caretaker.

Sunday School Activities for Mother’s Day

NOTE:  Before starting today’s lesson, if you have any children in your class who are without a mother that you make reference throughout the lesson to anyone who plays the mother’s role – such as step moms, foster moms, grandmothers, aunts, and even single parent dads.

Bible Verse:
Today is Mother’s Day.  Recite Exodus 20:12 to the class as here, or from your class bible:

“Honour your father and your mother so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.”

Discussion 1:
What is a mother?  What makes a mother special?

Activity 1: 
Supply construction paper and art materials for the students to make a poster – they should write the words “Mothers are Special People” or “Thanks for Caring” in large letters as the center of their poster and should create a frame around it with the art materials.

Discussion 2: 
A mother nurtures.  What does nurture mean?  Who else plays a nurturing role?  Family?  Professionals?  In what way do these people care for us?
