My Mother Dear Activity

A gift from above in the form of inspiration has hit me! I will be using this flip chart that I found on Sugardoodle that is in black and white and I will use the flip chart to go over the song in Junior and then I'll give them the coloring sheet.
BUT in Senior primary, we'll go over the song with the flip chart AND THEN I'll whip out my foam board (that I just might spray paint pink) and let THEM make the poster by coloring the flip chart, cutting out the words and adding a few additional pieces of clip art I found on google

I hope they like making the poster as much as I think that they will. Hey! I might even bring my paper cutter to make it that more interesting for them - My own kids think the paper cutter is just 9 ways to cool.

My Mother Dear

To bring confusion to primary song leaders everywhere, the song book has several mother's day songs. Out of those several two are named:

My Mother Dear
and
Mother Dear.

(confusing enough that there is a flip chart for "My Mother Dear" on the "Mother Dear" song helps page on sugardoodle)

Confused? I was. Mother Dear 206 is the more familiar one (in my opinion) : Mother Dear I love you so, your happy smiling face -  you know, the one you want to bob your head back and forth to the beat when you hear it -----

So of course, I will go for the lesser known one - because that is just how I roll

I found this awesome coloring page on sugardoodle. I am not sure if I want to let them take it home (thus, alerting moms not serving in primary which song we're doing - but maybe they are all like me and don't even take a second glance at what comes home - yep, sorry - please try not to judge - all coloring pages usually end up crumpled in my church bag for a few weeks and then tossed), but I probably will forget and they'll take it home anyway.
Also found some great flip charts, but I think I like this one the most and I am really trying to come up with a new way to use it
