Days of the Week (Cut and Paste)

What is it

Worksheets that aim to teach children to identify the days of the week, and concept of time (yesterday, today, tomorrow) through varied activities.

Teaching Objectives

• Work on reading the different days of the week.

• Learn the order of the days of the week, and their corresponding numbers (1,2,3.. and first, second, third…).

• Learn the abbreviations of each day (Monday - Mon).

• Work on sustained attention and independence to complete worksheets.

• Learn and apply worksheet skills by recognising different instructions. E.g., cut, paste, colour, trace, match. 

  
  

How to use

• Print and laminate the ‘Days of the Week’ poster, and hang it at home, anywhere that is easily accessible to your child. Refer to this poster whenever you are teaching your child the days of the week. 

• Make the ‘Days of the Week’ wheel to help your child recognize the days of the week, and its order. The child can learn to recognize and use the words ‘yesterday’, ‘today’ and ‘tomorrow’. 

• Get the child to match the cardinal numbers (1,2,3..) and ordinal numbers (first, second, third..) to their respective days of the week. 

• Get the child to colour and trace the letters of the days to increase their familiarity with the words. 

Teaching tips

• Assign a colour to each day of the week to help your child identify the days easily.

• When teaching your child the concept of ‘weekdays’ and ‘weekends’, help your child out by distinguishing the typical school week (Mon - Fri) from the days of rest (Sat - Sun). Emphasise on the different activities and routines associated with weekdays and weekends. (e.g., go to school/work on Mon-Fri, go to the beach on Sat, go to the mall on Sun)
