I made a list of action items for the game, "Mother, May I."
- Gallop
- Snap Fingers
- Sing ABC's
- Sound like a Monkey
- Bow
- Walk on Heels
- Blow Kisses
- Sound like a Chicken
- Walk like a Pirate (Peg Leg)
- Sing, "Twinkle, twinkle little star."
- Disco Dance
- "Moo" like a Cow
- Smile your biggest smile
Junior Primary
I had a list of songs ready, each one cut out from a sheet of paper.
After each song, I asked for a volunteer to stand at a point in the room that was a good walking distance from me. I then asked that child to act out one of the action items. They would then ask, "Mother, may I?" I would always say, "Yes." They acted out the command while walking towards me. Once they reached me, they picked the next song.
Can you imagine how cute junior primary was? Seeing a four-year-old walk like a pirate, or a three-year-old blow kisses was SO adorable!

Senior Primary Twist
I usually had some type of twist for Senior Primary games. We followed all of the previous instructions, except for one thing: After someone acted out a command and reached me, they picked the action item for the next person. There were two siblings in Senior primary, so the sister gave her brother the command to sing, "Twinkle, twinkle little star." She was ecstatic about it! haha :)
Even though I let them pick action items, I was still technically the "Mother" the whole time, because I needed the answers to be, "Yes," to the volunteers.
