All children learn about the days of the week in preschool and kindergarten. Children learn differently and so here are a variety of activities to help all children learn the days of the week. Try using these fun days of the week activities in your classroom.
Many children love to sing and singing helps many children remember things better. Starting off with a song about the seven days of the week and singing it often will help them learn the words.
“Do You Know the Days of the Week?” is a fun song that used color and shapes to help children remember the days of the week.
“What Do You Do on the Seven Days of the Week?” is a song with an animal for each day.
Children will love making the connections between Sunday and Snake, Monday Monkey, Tuesday Turtle, Wednesday Whale, Thursday Tiger, Friday Frog and Saturday Squirrel.
The YouTube Video is a complete lesson you can use in your classroom. It’s a fun days of the week activity your students will love!
Or you can check out each individual song activity.

Movement is an essential element of early childhood learning. Incorporating movement with learning the days of the week can help the children learn them quicker and have fun too!
Use a different movement for each day of the week. That will make learning fun!
Just say the day and do the moves to some music.
Some fun moves are:
You can use any music!
Or, try a different song for each day and only do one day at a time.
Play the song and let the children dance away.
This is our Thursday song! YaY!
In our resources we use these actions.
We created an interactive game students can use to move and learn the days of the week.
Children will love moving like the animals for each day of the week.
Use the presentation to teach the days and the actions and then students can self-direct using the google slides interactive game.
Your students will easily learn the days of the week after playing this fun game.
Students will make connections with the animals in the visuals too.
DAYS OF THE WEEK GAME LINK TO TPT
Children can learn to identify the letters in the days of the week many ways.
Depending on the age of the children, they will learn to read the words at different times.
Try pausing the video and reading the letters aloud and have the children echo you. You can use posters or just write them yourself on some paper.
Soon they’ll be able to read the words too!
Keep on using a variety of days of the weeks activities over time. Repetition really works!
After children sing and move to the days of the week they may be ready for some coloring, writing and craft activities.
Incorporate some tracing as well as coloring activities to offer a variety of writing opportunities.
We’ve also included a cut and glue activity that works well for children who can read.
Days of the weeks activities can be simple and easy to implement activities for the home or the classroom.
Children love being actively engaged in the learning.
I’m hoping that you got some ideas to incorporate a variety of activities including singing, moving, reading and writing to help your students and children learn the days of the week.
