Forever M&M's courtesy creative commons license flickr.com by vernhart 10/2007For Mother's Day this year I am gathering materials for a "Mother's Day Date Night Kit". I will have all the items ready for the children to put into their bag and take home. We have a few children whose mothers have died so I'm labeling the bag "Special Lady Date Night Kit".
The kit will include:
- A DO NOT disturb sign to hang on the door
- Bag of Popcorn
- M & M's
- Activity Description Sheet
- Fill in the blank on nice card stock You are one special lady because ________________!
The Activity Description Sheet says:
You're one special lady and I'm one special child!
Let's play a game with M&M's bright and wild!
Pick a candy, any color will do.
And answer the question through and through!
Then once you're done, toss in the air.
Can the other one catch? Or will it land in her hair?
Have fun and be silly - get to know each other well!
And to each other - I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, don't forget to tell!
Red- What is one of your favorite things to do with me?
Orange- Where would you want to go anywhere in the world with me and why?
Yellow- What do you see us doing together in 10 years?
Green- Name 3 reasons why you love me.
Blue- Ask me any question you like!
Brown- Hum a tune and see if I can guess it!
* Are you having fun and there's still more time? Pop some popcorn and whip out a board game!
This activity/poem is copywrited by me and only to be used by individuals who want to encourage unity, love, and a little more fun in the home.
This is such a fun idea! I have 3 little boys who would love to do something like this. I am going to have my husband look at this and he can help them do it. The boys like to suprize me. I love your blog. You have so many great ideas! Thanks so so much!

Your page is INSPIRATIONAL. I am a Christian teacher of 38 years. It pains me to see fellow teachers charging other teachers for things that have been freely given for years. Of course, when our "job" is a calling by our Savior, we do see things differently. Thank you for sharing and my prayers are that you may encourage many young teachers to give of themselves in the classroom as well as to their fellow teachers.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this fun idea! I cant wait to try it with my Primary. Now I can relax and gather my supplies until the big day! You are the best!
