The closest person
Mom is the most dear and important person in everyone's life. In childhood, this truth is not in doubt and is not required special occasions to cuddle up to mom and tell her how wonderful she is. Growing up, we tell her unforgivably little about our love and rarely find time to just be close. But there is one day a year when we become children again and, without shyness of sincerity, are ready to shout to the whole world about our feelings. This day is the last Sunday of November - Mother's Day.
How is it customary to congratulate mothers?
Idea 1. Morning
Morning. Bouquet of flowers. Mom lowers her feet from the bed and sees paper trails on the floor that lead her to the door from the apartment. There is silence in the house. Family photos are hung on the walls, reflecting the happiest moments of life. On the handle front door an envelope with a deliberately childish inscription "MOM" is attached. The envelope is opened in the hall, because it is lighter and more convenient there. Flocks of bright leaves spill out of an envelope onto the table, and on each one there is an inscription why we love our mother. There are 100 statements in total. My brother and I composed them for almost 2 weeks. They, of course, were repeated, but mom was happy to once again receive confirmation of our love.
Idea 2. Noisy
The phone rings and mom’s voice on the phone: “Hello.” In response, my cheerful: “Mommy, look out the window!” And outside the window I am with children and balloons against the background of a huge chalk drawing on the asphalt. They drew with excitement and pleasure: the sun, birds, trees, grass, flowers, and in the center of all this is the giant figure of MOTHER, who holds the hands of small crooked aliens, in which my sons stubbornly saw the figures of children. And on top in large letters “May there always be a mother!” My mother most likely did not hear my congratulations on the phone, as the children squealed so much, waving their hands at her. The balls soared into the sky, we shouted in unison that we love her, and passers-by applauded.
Idea 3. Gift
Don't tell me how much beautiful words, but I want there to be a tangible memory of the holiday. For Mother's Day, we made newspapers with funny stories from life, gift albums with photographs, and even wrote a song and sang it together with enthusiasm. Believe me, any gift made with soul and with your own hands will be as dear to your mother as it is to mine. She kept the candy bouquet for almost two years, carefully and discreetly removing candies from the wrappers so as not to disturb its appearance. But this does not mean that a beautiful ring or a beauty salon certificate will please her less.
Idea 4. Dreamy
Every mother has a dream. Mine is a trip to Prague. And I already know exactly what we will give her not for her birthday or New Year, namely on Mother’s Day, as soon as we collect the required amount. After all, it is so symbolic to fulfill the dream of the one who has been fulfilling ours all her life.
Idea 5. Banquet
We so rarely go out with my mother. And when we invited her to take a walk together, she happily agreed. And so our noisy group, walking through the alleys of the city, “accidentally” turned into a cozy cafe, where a separate niche with a set table awaited us. True, her grandchildren helped a lot with luring my mother to the cafe; she flatly refused to go there. In the end we had a wonderful evening. We organized an impromptu karaoke concert and tried it out interesting dishes, and no one was frying at the stove or sink. The holiday was a success! I wish the same for you.
Conclusion
Make your moms happy. And it’s better not only on Mother’s Day. Give them a holiday at least once a week or month. They will appreciate it. Remember that no one will ever love us the way our mothers do.
Mother's Day is celebrated all over the world. On this day I want to say warm words to my mother, create a holiday and good mood! But the most pleasant surprise for mom will be a gift made with her own hands. If you fantasize a little, ideas will start to flow.

A notebook painted with stencils and decorated with decorative ribbons looks interesting.
You can attach photos and wishes to your mother on a regular board.
The easiest way is to make a pendant for a chain. Shells brought from the sea, quilling crafts, and various beads are also suitable.

Family photo album - wonderful gift. For this craft you will need cardboard. Fold it in two layers like an accordion and cut out windows for photos.

Scenario for Mother's Day in elementary school, video
In elementary grades due to age characteristics Students won’t be able to really “run wild” with long and multi-day events. Still, it is still difficult for children to memorize large amounts of information and play several different roles in various productions and concerts. Therefore, the most optimal option remains a festive concert on Mother’s Day, the script for which is primary school teachers prepare. Most often, children's performances are taken as the basis for such a concert.

Through the efforts of teachers and students, not an ordinary concert is held, but an entire theatrical production is created.

The theme of such a speech must necessarily resonate with the main idea of Mother's Day. This should be a very kind and gentle performance, filled with words of love and gratitude.
Unusual scenario in primary school on Mother's Day
Another rather simple, but at the same time very unusual scenario for Mother’s Day in primary school is the format of a television show. It should be based on a popular and easily recognizable TV show, for example, Field of Miracles, Dancing with the Stars, Minute of Fame. You can also use the format of multiple TV shows or use parody options.

Scenario for an active Mother's Day in high school
One of the most unusual options for the Mother's Day holiday - an active format. This could be, for example, a sports competition with elements of a relay race and active competitions. An interesting and active celebration can also be held in the format of an unusual quest. To participate, you will need teams consisting of mothers and children. Their task is to be the first to reach the finish line with the help of tips and completing certain tasks from the leader. It is better to take different tasks - for ingenuity, speed, endurance, erudition. This will not only diversify the event itself, but will also equalize the chances of participants.
Script for a high school dance party for Mother's Day
A great idea would be to hold a dance party on Mother's Day. For example, you can spend an evening in the style of a disco of the 70s and 80s - it was at this time that the mothers of today's high school students were young. Moreover, you can use not only musical hits of those years, but also outfits, decorations, etc. We are sure that both mothers and children will definitely like such a masquerade ball.
Original Mother's Day script for high school students
High school students can prepare another version of the original Mother’s Day concert in the format of a talent competition. Naturally, all the numbers in such a concert should resonate with the main theme of the evening - maternal care. For example, you can prepare several touching songs, poems, numbers about mothers and their role in life. At the end of the evening, high school boys can invite their mothers to a waltz, and at the end give them flowers and memorable gifts made with their own hands.
School Classroom Ideas for Mother's Day
A useful activity for Mother's Day at school will also be a class hour, for which we have prepared several ideas below. Moreover, it can be carried out not only in elementary school, but also with middle school students and teenagers from high school. In order for such a class hour in honor of Mother’s Day to be remembered by children for a long time and to be beneficial, the scenario for it must be unusual. It is advisable not just to give a lecture, but also to involve children in an active dialogue. For example, you can ask students to prepare a short story in advance about their mother, her hobbies, work, and character. Or organize a small creative competition as part of a class hour on the topic “Portrait of a Mother”. If a class hour is held in conjunction with other school events dedicated to this holiday, then it can be organized in an unusual active format. For example, ask students to prepare dances or songs that they associate with motherly love.
A class hour spent outside the school walls can also be quite interesting. For example, you can organize a thematic excursion, a trip to the theater or cinema. If desired, as part of this event, you can also hold a real charity event for those children who are deprived of their mother’s love. This could be collecting toys and clothes for children in orphanages or helping orphans from school. You can also do small photo or a video report on the work done as a keepsake.
