  2. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com IntroductionAs we celebrate mother’s day we are reminded that God created us through mothers and that mothers are all around us in creation. www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com

  6. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Answerspony, calf, cub, chick, puppy, duckling, kitten, kid, piglet, lamb, pup, joey, fawn, tadpole, cub, colt, eaglet, kit, gosling VariationWrite the names of the animals and baby animals on cards and place them on the backs of the children. Then they must ask “yes” or “no” questions and try to find the baby that matches with the mother. www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com

  7. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com VariationYou can place the cards on a table and play a concentration style card game. Kids turn over two cards. If a mother is matched with the baby animal they can go again. If not they turn the cards back over and the next child turns over two cards. The child with the most cards at the end wins. As a variation you can get photos of parents and children and paste them to cards or photocopy them on cards. Then they must also match mother and child. www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com

  8. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Variation“Battle” also known as “slap”– Add animal cards (see website below for more animals and babies) as well as duplicates. Shuffle and deal the cards into two equal piles. Divide the class into two teams. Each team chooses a person to turn over cards. Each team turns over a card at the same time as the other team. When the two cards go together the first person to slap the top of the discards in the center gets all those cards. www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com

  9. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com If they slap the stack and the cards do not match, the other team gets all the cards. The team can shout directions for its player and help them to determine when to slap the deck. Once the deck has been slapped, the next person from each team turns over the cards. The game is over when one team obtains all the cards in this manner. www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com

  10. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com VariationHave each child bring a stuffed animal. Put them all put in a pile. Then one by one mothers are blindfolded and they have to find their child’s stuffed animal without looking! www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com

  11. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Variation“Name That Animal”- This is a fun game for small children just beginning to learn their animals. Pass out animal stickers or small stuffed animals, and have the kids imitate the animal they receive. You might write the names of a baby and a mother. Then by imitating the animal they have been given they most find the mother of that animal. www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com

  12. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com ApplicationEach animal has a special name for its baby. Your mother gave each of you a special name as well. And God knows each one of you by name. Just as mother animals take care of their babies, your mother takes care of you. Take some time to thank your mom for taking care of you. www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
