It's fair to say that between wrangling the kids for school, cooking up the best weeknight dinners, and helping around the house (or the ranch, if you're Ree Drummond) moms work pretty dang hard! These special ladies are our ultimate role models and deserve all the credit they can get. (That's why Mother's Day comes before Father's Day, right?) For many, it's a special occasion celebrated with gifts, tributes, a homemade brunch, and fun Mother's Day games!
Ahead, you'll find games for all ages that make for sweet new family traditions and pay tribute to the woman who's always had your back. Sure, gifts for mom are sweet and flowers can make anyone smile. But a round of mom-themed bingo or trivia will leave you feeling closer than ever. Tell a few of your best mom jokes while you play, and you'll be rolling on the ground laughing. Plus, games are a great, low or zero-budget activity that you can do from home. Don't sweat it if some of the kids can't visit! Many of these options are also easy to do over FaceTime. Give these cute and silly games a try this year for some beautiful memories and mom-umental fun.

Picture Hunt
Picture hunts are so much fun! They're easy to do in person or virtually if you're celebrating Mother's Day over long distance. One person comes up with a list of photos of mom, like "mom at the beach." One by one, everyone must try to find the best picture of mom according to the parameter!

Two Truths and a Lie
Two Truths and a Lie is one of the best ways to get to know someone new, or get to know a loved one better! The premise is simple: have mom think of two truths and a lie about herself, then have everyone try to guess the lie.

Painting Trade-Off
This game can be so silly, and at the end, you'll have a "beautiful" art piece you can hang up. Grab some paper and some paints or pencils. Set a timer for one minute and let mom start a drawing. When the timer does off, mom passes it off to the next person to add to her creation. Keep rotating until the artwork is complete.

Famous Moms
Sure, your own mom is the best, but famous tv and movie moms have taught us some important lessons too! Print out or draw two columns and on one side, list famous mom characters. On the other side, list the first names of their fictional kids (out of order). Everyone takes turns trying to match the famous moms to their children.

Mother, May I?
You probably know Mother, May I? as that schoolyard game where you have to ask to move a body part. In this version, mom has all the power! Everyone in the house has to remember to ask, "Mother, may I?" before they do anything this Mother's Day, from eating breakfast to watching television.

Mad Libs
Here's another cute throwback game! Create a customer Mad Libs sheet with a story about mom—real or fake. Insert blanks into each sentence where keywords are supposed to be. As with normal Mad Libs, indicate the part of speech (noun, verb, or adjective) each blank should be. Everyone fills out their sheet, then reads the story out loud. You'll be howling with laughter!

Mom-Approved Bake-Off
Who doesn't love those fun cooking shows? Bring the competition home with your own bake-off. If you have a house full of cooks, you can all try to bake mom's favorite treat. If you want to simplify though, bake cookies ahead of time and set up a decorating station. Then let mom judge which cookies came out best!

Mother's Day Award Ceremony

Scavenger Hunt
You can do a Mother's Day-themed scavenger hunt at home or over video chat! Write down a list of prompts, such as a funny text from mom, baby photo, or family heirloom. Read them off one by one, and let everyone rush off to retrieve their object! You can also do more personal prompts, like a funny mom story, or have the kids go around and an impression. If you decide to play over video chat, take the opportunity to invite a group of your best mom friends and their kids!

Finish the Story
Finish the Story is a hilarious, creative game that requires just a pen and paper. Gather around and let one person begin by writing one sentence from a story (real or make-believe) about mom. Person two continues the story by writing the following sentence and so on. At the end, read out the full tale. You'll be surprised where your creativity takes you, and you'll have a silly souvenir afterward! And if you have kids who are too young to write, you can always play the game aloud.

Charades
Test your mom's acting skills with this all-time favorite party game. It also requires almost no prep! Scribble the names of movies, books, and tv shows that mom loves on little pieces of paper and toss them in a bowl. Set a 60-second timer (or longer if you're playing with kids) and let everyone guess which title each player acts out!

Fishbowl
Fishbowl is like charades but better for older kids because it becomes increasingly harder: Write down mom's favorite actors, books, movies, and musicians and throw the papers in a bowl. Next, split into two teams and play three rounds. After each round, you will count how many your team got right and place the slips back in the bowl. Round one: Taboo. One player for each team has 60 seconds to give clues by describing the word or phrase while their teammates guess. Round two: Password. The timer begins again, and players can only offer a one-word clue. Round three: Charades. The timer starts yet again, and players can only act out the slip in their hand.

Left-Right Passing Game
You might know this game from Christmas, but it's a great game to play on Mother's Day! The rules are simple: Everyone has an identically wrapped party favor on hand (the winning prize has a special note). Print out a script for one person to read, and each time the reader says "right," everyone passes their favor to the right. When the reader says "left," everyone passes their favor to the left. When the script is over, everyone opens the favor that they ended up with. The one with the note inside is the winner of a special prize to give mom!
Get the tutorial and script at Michelle Paige Blogs.
Who doesn't love trivia? Choose five categories, like movies, memories, or food. Next, have one person ask questions about mom for each category, to which each player has to guess the answer. For example: What dish does mom love to eat but doesn't cook? Hint: it has the word "scampi" in the name. If you have a music round, play short clips of mom's favorite songs and have each player guess the song title or artist!

Pretend To Be...
The Pretend To Be game is so silly. Simply write out a few cards with things that mom does. For example, "pretend to be mom on the phone" or "pretend to be mom when she's tired." Then, have the kids pick cards and act them out for mom. She gets a point for each one she gets right!

Mom and Kids Karaoke
Who said mom couldn't sing?! If your family likes to belt it out on car rides, Karaoke is the perfect game to play on Mother's Day. You don't need a complete setup with a mic either—just pull up mom's favorite songs on YouTube (many have karaoke versions) and grab a hairbrush!
