Honor thy Mother: A Lesson For Mother’s Day By Lara Goold Materials needed: Scriptures, picture(s) of mom with one of the children as a baby, pen and paper, die and small objects for game pieces (for “What Makes Mom Happy”) Preparation : Give this lesson to the kids or to Dad to teach. Purpose: Teach family members to honor their mother for Mother’s Day and every day. Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 9:22 Exodus 20:12 Opening Songs: “Quickly I’ll Obey”, Children’s Songbook, page 197 “Mother, I Love You”, Children’s Songbook, page 207 Opening song and prayer: Lesson: Display a picture of mom with one of the children as a baby (ideally you could have pictures of each of the children with mom as a baby, but one is enough if that ’s all you can find) Discuss: Ooh and aah over how cute and little they were as babies. Talk to them about how as babies they couldn’t walk or talk, and that they were totally dependent on their mom to do everything for them. Talk about how hard it can be to take care of babies and children, but that mom does it happily because she loves us so much. “Hats Off to Mother” story with visuals: Read the enclosed story with accompanying visuals. Put the different hats on the mother puppet as you read (or if you want you could find real hats and put them on your own mother as you talk about the story) Discuss: Talk about specific instances of mom wearing her different “hats”(Remember when you got hurt and mommy gave you a kiss and put on a bandaid…). Take this opportunity to really emphasize all that our moms do for us and how meaningful that is. Lead the discussion into finding ways that we can show our love and respect for mom for Mother’s Day (don’t focus on the everyday respect yet). Write down their ideas. Get mom’s feedback about which ideas make her excited. Next discuss about how it is good to show love and honor to mother on Mother’s Day, but that we should also honor her every day of our lives. Briefly retell the story of Helaman’s 2000 warriors (summary and visuals included) and talk about how they showed honor to their mothers by remembering what they’d been taught and living righteously. Ask for further ideas of ways that they can honor mother and show appreciation for all that she does on a daily basis. Write down these ideas and be sure to get mom’s feedback too.
