I often get requests from teachers for short simple songs young
children can sing at parent events. This sweet song is perfect
for the school Mother’s Day tea party or other celebration. Add ASL signs if you know them, or simple motions below, and you
have a song that will make any mother’s heart sing!
Mothers Day Song
When I was a little baby
(arms pretend to hold and rock baby)
You did everything
(open hands out )
for me
(point to self)
I couldn't walk
( fingers of one hand pretend to walk on other open hand)
And I couldn’t talk
(point
to lips)
So you did everything
(open hands outstretched)
For me
(point to self)
But now I’m so much bigger
(raise one hand high over head, as if growing)
There’s so much that I can do
(both open hands, palm down, swing right and left in front of
body)
So on this Mother’s Day my gift
(cup hands as if holding a present)
Is to sing
(one flat hand waves back and forth over other arm outstretched)
This
song to you
(open arms out toward mother)
Yes on this Mother’s Day my gift
(cup
hands as if holding present)
Is a song made just for you
(open arms out toward mother)
