This Mother’s Day writing activity doubles up as a great gift for the Mums from your class when collated together.

Ask each child to think of their favourite recipe/meal that their mum makes. Prompt students by asking: What does she use to cook that? How long do you think it stays in the oven? How hot is the oven? etc. They list the ingredients and instructions on how they THINK it is made (the results are often quite funny and entertaining).

This resource includes two different recording sheets; choose the one that best suits your students.

Once each student has submitted their recipe, the teacher can put them into a "class cookbook" and make a copy as a gift for each student to give to their Mum or special family member on Mother’s Day.

This resource contains an editable version of the recipe pages if you would like to type up the recipes. This is great for students who need someone to scribe for them. It is also available in a non-Mother’s Day version for use at times other than Mother’s Day or to gift to other special people.
