"Guess a son (daughter)"

Two or three mothers blindfolded and put before the line of children. Participants should feel to their child. To complicate the task in front of the mothers, boys are placed only the male part of the group. With girls it's easier - parents can focus on hairstyles, bows and hairpins when they touch the child's head. Therefore, the tutor can bring intrigue into the competition, taking off the most outstanding details of the outfits from the small fashionistas.

"Know yourself"

This test will not only show the most attentive and sensitive mothers, but will also let them learn about themselves something new. The essence of the contest is that the children in the group make up a verbal portrait of the main woman in their life in advance, after which the sheets with descriptions are mixed and the presenter reads out the text. What mother recognizes herself - she won. The more winners, the better! A very simple variant is suitable for very young children: let them not describe their mother, they paint. And they will look for their portrait among a couple of dozen strangers.

Educational institutions also celebrate this holiday every year. Junior students can take on the same competitions for the Mother's Day as the kids. But at their disposal and more complex tests, preparation for which requires a certain time and special props.

"Confusion"

The teacher collects in advance from the children one thing that is required for them to study. For example, a pencil case, a diary, some special pen, a ruler (of a nonstandard type). The collected is stacked in an opaque package. Lead in turn pulls out items and asks: "Who lost?" If the mother finds out the thing of her son or daughter, she should raise her hand. Win all those who guessed.

Joint competitions

Some tests require the teamwork of an adult and a child, because they are the most interesting. Such competitions for Mother's Day must be included in the holiday program.

"Survivors"

It is necessary to prepare 5-10 small opaque containers and as many clean spoons. In the dishes put any food: jam, honey, condensed milk (simple and boiled), sour cream - in general, everything that is available. Mums are blindfolded. Children take a spoon in hand and treat the contestants by choosing (for each participant - one dish). Mom must guess what her child was doing. The range of treats to the last remains a mystery. This is an example of the fact that competitions for Mother's Day not only entertain people, but also teach adults to trust children. After all, it is not so easy to give the baby a spoon, suddenly drop on a blouse or feed something.

"Supermarket"

Two pairs of participants (mother + child) are at one end of the hall (class). In the opposite side there is a supermarket table where food products (artificial ones) and household goods (sponges, soap, cans from shampoos, brushes, utensils) are stacked. Adults are given "shopping lists", where are indicated from 7 to 15 positions from those that are in the "store". Mom calls the child one thing, he runs to the table, takes the necessary and comes back. Then he gets a new task - and again in the way. Which team will quickly collect all the list, and she won.

Do you need prizes?

For the competitions dedicated to Mother's Day, they become even more interesting, it is necessary to provide prizes for the winners. Let them be purely symbolic. For example, cardboard medals or cups with inscriptions, candies, balloons are suitable.
