Mother's Day is een kans voor ons om mam dat we echt alles wat ze doet voor ons waarderen tonen. Brainstorm als groep om te komen met verschillende manieren waarop Mom helpt (of wat mama mee te maken heeft) en beslissen over wat het meest belangrijk voor je. Maak een storyboard of comic om haar te bedanken!

Student Instructions
Engage students in a creative writing session by organizing a thank-you card activity for Mother's Day. This helps students express gratitude in their own words while practicing writing skills.
Collect colored paper, markers, stickers, and glue sticks so each student has what they need. Providing a variety of materials encourages creativity and personal expression.
Demonstrate how to list specific things students appreciate about their moms. Share sentence starters like “Thank you for…” to help spark ideas.
Encourage students to write a first draft, then reread and edit for clarity and heartfelt tone. Offer support for spelling or word choice as needed.
Allow time for students to color, add stickers, or draw pictures on their cards. Remind them to keep their messages at the center of the design.
Invite students to present their cards to the class or privately prepare them to bring home. Celebrating their efforts builds confidence and reinforces gratitude.
A great Mother’s Day activity for K-12 students is to create a storyboard or comic that shows different ways they appreciate their mom. Students can draw scenes, add descriptions, and personalize characters to represent their own families.
Students can brainstorm as a group by listing verbs like love, protect, cook, and teach, then discuss which actions are most meaningful to them. This helps them think deeply about all the ways moms support them.
Students can use verbs such as love, protect, read, help, cook, teach, plan, work, drive, listen, and hug to describe the many ways moms help and support their children.
Teachers can encourage students to create comics that reflect their own family situations, allowing them to choose characters that look like themselves and their moms or caregivers, and to express gratitude in their own unique ways.
First, have students brainstorm and select actions they appreciate. Next, they use a digital tool or paper to draw each scene in storyboard cells, adding descriptions if desired. Finally, students save and share their comics to celebrate Mother’s Day.
