A Mother’s Day Performance Poem for Primary children by Angela Yardy.Check my free website for more poetry for children, teachers and beginners. www.angelaspoems.co.uk

If you have any child for whom Mothers day is difficult for personal reasons, this song can be adapted to “You’re Special” instead of “You’re My Mum”. Just replace bold words with italics.

You’re My Mum / You’re Special

I love the way you smile, I love the way you laugh,I love the way you brighten up my day.I love the way you chat, I love the way you play,I’d like to say a very big HOORAY!

Chorus….For you’re my Mum (special), you’re my Mum (special)

And I love you very, very, very much.For you’re my Mum (special), you’re my Mum (special)

And I love you very, very, very much.

Thank you for my meals, thank you for my clothes,Thank you mum for looking after me. (for the things you do for) Thank you for the hugs and the cuddles on your knee.I’d like to say a very big WHOOPEE!

Chorus…

Now all there is to say is have a lovely dayAnd thank you Mum (too) for everything you do.Here’s a little kiss on its way to you, For I’d to say a very big WOOHOO!

Chorus…(end by blowing a kiss)

PURPOSE WRITTEN IN RHYME to be ADAPTABLE for varying cast sizes (or last minute cast changes!), with EASILY REMEMBERED, REPETITIVE WORDS to POPULAR AND FAMILIAR CHILDREN’S TUNES,

The Children’s Nativity Story is: Written completely in rhyme including narration, lots of small speaking parts and plenty of humour, and using easily remembered words put to popular tunes.

Grandpa’s Nativity Story is: Set in a children’s bedroom on Christmas Eve, and blends the first Christmas (the traditional nativity story) with the excitement of Santa/Saint Nicholas. Grandpa reads the nativity as a bedtime story, whilst all of the acting is written in short, easily memorised rhyming couplets.
