Why Learning the Days of the Week Matters
Understanding the days of the week helps children develop a sense of time, routine, and structure. It builds the foundation for calendars, schedules, and even time management skills later in life.
Make It Stick with Songs and Rhymes
Music is a great way to make concepts memorable. Try these catchy songs:
- “Days of the Week” (to the tune of the Addams Family theme)
Days of the week (clap clap), Days of the week (clap clap)… - “There Are Seven Days”
There are seven days, there are seven days, there are seven days in a week…
These songs are easy to find on YouTube and can turn learning time into dance time!
Interactive Activities
Here are a few hands-on activities to reinforce learning:
- Calendar Time: Use a wall calendar to mark today, yesterday, and tomorrow.
- Days of the Week Wheel: Make a rotating chart that kids can turn daily.
- Story Prompts: Ask questions like, “What do we do on Saturday?” or “What’s your favorite day?”
