Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s time for elementary students to show their appreciation for their mothers or mother figures with Mother’s Day Card Activities.
While a store-bought card can be thoughtful, a handmade card adds a personal touch and shows effort and love.
Here are three Mother’s Day card activities for elementary students that will make Mom smile.
-
Portrait of Mom- Mother’s Day Card
A portrait of mom card is a great way for elementary students to show their artistic skills and express their love for their mom.
Provide students with paper, markers, and colored pencils to create a portrait of their mom. They can add details like mom’s favorite color, hairstyle, or clothing. Then, they can write a heartfelt message inside the card.

Scrabble Card featuring Mother
A Scrabble card featuring Mother is a creative way for elementary students to use language skills to express their love. Provide students with Scrabble tiles and cardstock. They can spell out words like “love,” “mom,” “hug,” or any other words that describe their mom. They can also add embellishments like hearts or flowers to make the card more decorative. Finally, they can write a message inside the card using the same Scrabble tiles.

A Mother’s Day Card Activity and Game
A card to mom that is also a game is a fun way for mom and child to spend time together. Provide students with markers and colored pencils to create this card. You can purchase the done-for-you version here or make your own.
Yes, I did say a unique experience. Like most cards, the card has hearts, flowers, and a memo area where students may write a heart-filled note to mom.
Once Mom opens the card, she is presented with a game to play with her child!
Trust me, this isn’t another game of Candy Land or Four Corners. No. This game includes three elements Mom will appreciate.
- Fun Facts- throughout the game, players land on spaces that ask opponents to answer a question about their opponent. Students sure can learn exciting things about Mom.
- Hugs- a few landing spaces require mom and child to hug. Who doesn’t want another hug?
- Compliments- even spaces require opponents to give a unique tribute.
The Mother’s Day Card and Game is a win-win for everyone. Take advantage of all the love and experience this game together. Mom may want to keep it handy for those “difficult” parenting days.
In conclusion, these Mother’s Day card activities are perfect for elementary students to show their love and appreciation for their mothers or mother figures.
These activities allow students to get creative and make unique and personalized cards that their moms will cherish.
So, grab some art supplies and start creating a special card for Mom that will make her smile.
