They lead me in the righteous way and guide me if I go astray.Knees: Whether playing a game or scrubbing the floors, her knees bend willingly…

Oh how I love Mother’s Day! This activity is going to be AWESOME! I have already called in my mom helpers and everything is ready to go! I thought I would post it early in case anyone else wanted to use it next week!
I will use 5 mom’s for Jr and 5 different mom’s for SR. When inviting the mom’s to participate, make sure they are comfortable with taking off their shoes.
Here is the plan!
* Five minutes before singing time begins I will meet my visiting mom’s in the hallway and take their shoes.. These will be placed in a large bag.
* Time for singing time! The mom’s will come in as we sing “The Dearest Names” (verse about mother). They will then sit in chairs at the front of the room.
* “Does anyone notice something wrong with our mom’s today?” Get the kids to notice their shoes are gone!
* Introduce the activity as “Mom’s Shoes-A-Palloosa!” They are going to guess which shoes go to which mom!
* For Junior I am going to place the shoes out on a table so the kids can visually see them all at the same time. For senior I am going to keep them in the large bag.
* I will choose a child helper, they will come up and choose a shoe! They will then guess which mom the shoe goes to. If they are incorrect the shoe goes back onto the table/in the bag. If they are right that mom gets to pick a flower from the board. Written on the back of the flowers will be our songs to sing.
* We will keep doing this until all the mom’s have their shoes back!
* To end the activity I will then read the following article. I found this when my now 16 year old sin was very little. it really touched me as a mother and thought it would fit very well in to this activity;
