New Delhi: Mother’s Day is celebrated each year on the second Sunday of May. This year, the festival will fall on May 11, 2205 and is one of the most special days to shower love and make your mother feel valued and appreciated for all the things she has done selflessly for us. This day is a perfect opportunity for kids to express love and appreciation for their mothers. Schools can play a big role in making the day memorable by organising activities that are both educational and heartfelt.
These celebrations not only allow children to honour their mothers but also encourage values like gratitude, love, and creativity. Here are some of the best activities and games you can plan in school for kids to celebrate Mother’s Day and learn the importance of this day and the mother in life who is always ready to sacrifice anything and everything for the kids and family.
Set up a DIY card and bookmark-making station where kids can create heartfelt messages and artistic keepsakes. Supply them with coloured paper, stickers, stamps, and markers to let their creativity flow.
Organise an art contest where kids draw their favourite memory with their mom. Display all the artwork in a special gallery at school for everyone to admire. Surprise the kids by planning a visit from their moms to school to admire and watch the kids draw so confidently.
Let students put together a short song or dance performance dedicated to moms. Kids can sing songs like “You Are My Sunshine” or choreograph a simple dance to a mother-themed tune. Moms can also join along with the kids to make the celebrations extra special for each other.
Organise a no-cook recipe competition where kids prepare simple dishes like sandwiches, fruit salads, or smoothies with guidance from teachers and then surprise their moms at home. You can prepare something special or something which your mom loves the most.
Host a fun talent show where mothers and children perform together—be it dancing, poetry recitation, singing, or even a fun skit.
Create a big bulletin board where kids stick notes or drawings that describe why their mother is special. This can remain on display all week. Call in all parents, like father and mother the school for a small get-together, and you can display the wall of love prepared by the kids.
These thoughtful and engaging school activities for Mother’s Day can help children build stronger emotional bonds with their mothers while learning the importance of love, gratitude, and expression.
