“Days of the week” Summary of direct educational activities on mathematical development in the senior group. Summary of a mathematics lesson in the senior group “Days of the week.” lesson plan in mathematics (senior group) on the topic

Direct educational activity “Introducing children of senior preschool age to the days of the week.”

Tasks:
Introduce children to the names and sequence of days of the week. Fix the names and sequence of days of the week in children’s active speech. Teach children to visually lay out the days of the week in a certain sequence. Continue teaching ordinal counting. Develop attention, memory, thinking. Continue teaching children to name the colors of the spectrum.
Equipment: Demonstrative material: “Grid-week”, cards with numbers (from 1 to 7), colored cards (K, O, F, Z, G, S, F); the same handout in the number of children present.

Progress of the lesson:

There is a week grid hanging on the board.
What's that on the board? How do you think?
Let's count the LINES? How many are there? (7)
Does this number mean anything to you?
Let's remember our favorite fairy tales, in which fairy tales does the number 7 appear?
(7 KIDS, SEVEN-FLOWER FLOWER, SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN Dwarfs)
Where can we find the number 7 in life?
(7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD, 7 DAYS A WEEK, 7 COLORS OF THE RAINBOW)

Guess the riddle:
THERE ARE EXACTLY SEVEN BROTHERS.
YOU ALL KNOW THEM.
EVERY WEEK AROUND
THE BROTHERS WALK AFTER EACH OTHER,
SAYS GOOD-BYE TO THE LAST –
THE FRONT APPEARS.
(DAYS OF THE WEEK)
Or maybe someone knows the name of each of the brothers? (Mon, Tue, Wed….)
Now let's get back to our grid. These guys are not just a grid, but a weekly grid, it will help us remember the days of the week.
Why do you think we need to know the days of the week?
(in order to know when it’s a day off and not to come to kindergarten, to know when and what day of classes, we go to music classes on Mon and Wed, that is, on certain days)
Have you ever wondered why our brothers have such names? And because
(SHOW THE NAMES ON YOUR HAND and at the same time fill the grid in order with the numbers)
MONDAY is the first after the week, after the weekend.
TUESDAY - second, WEDNESDAY - who knows why? BECAUSE HE'S IN THE MIDDLE!
FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY – ON THE OTHER HAND BECAUSE THEY ARE WEEKENDS!!
Guys, now let’s fill out our “WEEK” and mark each day with a color:
Mon - RED
VT - ORANGE
SR - YELLOW
TH – GREEN
PT - BLUE
SB – BLUE
BC – PURPLE
Well, what a beautiful WEEK we've had?
Is there something missing here?
Well, of course, who can tell me what classes we have……………..? (mark with symbols the activities that should be)
Fizminutka:
On Monday we did the laundry
The floor was swept on Tuesday,
On Wednesday we baked kalach,
We played ball all Thursday,
On Friday we washed cups,
And on Saturday we bought a cake
And of course on Sunday
Invited everyone to the birthday party
Sang, jumped, danced
The days of the week have been counted!
Reflection.
And now everyone has their own WEEK on their tables! you need to fill in the empty cells just like we did on the board. Don't forget that each day has its own serial number and its own assigned color!

Lesson notes

Subject:Study of the concept of “Days of the week”, “Month”, their number and types

Purpose of the lesson

Learn to name the days of the week sequentially; introduce the concept of “month” (consists of four weeks, one month follows the other); practice classifying geometric shapes according to various criteria.

Materials

For the teacher: leaves from the calendar for the past month, folded by week; two sets of numbers from 1 to 7, ball. For children: a set of geometric shapes.

Progress of the lesson

Let's play

“Call me quickly”

Children form a circle. Using a counting rhyme, a leader is selected.

A goat walked along the bridge and wagged its tail. It got caught on the railing and landed right in the river. Whoever doesn’t believe is him, get out of the circle.

He throws a ball to one of the children and says: “What day of the week is today?” The child who caught the ball answers: “Tuesday,” throws the ball to another child and asks a question like: “What day of the week was yesterday? Name the day of the week after Thursday. Name the day of the week between Thursday and Friday.” So the role of the leader gradually passes from one child to another. If someone finds it difficult to quickly give an answer, the teacher invites the children to help him.

Educator. How many days are there in a week? (Seven.) Let's check if this is true. (Gives the children pieces of the calendar and asks them to put them in order.) How many days are there in a week? Name them in order. Use your hands to show how many days there are in a week.

Children spread their arms to the sides, thus showing the length of the week.

Then the teacher asks the children to name the first month of the year. “Look, how many weeks are there in a month? (Shows calendar leaves folded by week.) Count how many weeks there are in a month. Can you show how many days there are in a month? (Children spread their arms wide apart.) Does each week have the same number of days? How to find out? (Put the calendar leaves of one week under the leaves of another.) How else can you find out how many days there are in a month?” (Put the calendar leaves in a row.)

Educator. What is the name of the first month of the year? Second? Listen to proverbs about January.

January is the beginning of the year, and winter is the middle.

In January, the pot in the oven freezes.

January - frosts, February - snowstorms.

Note. If the group has a poster calendar, invite the children to show January on it, ask what month it is.

“Line up in order” (complicated version)

There are upside-down numbers (two sets) lying in disarray on the table. Children move to the music. At a signal, they take numbers from the table. The teacher tells the children that they need to line up in order: the days of the week in order, one week after another. The players line up in order according to the number indicated on the card. Children turn into seven days of the week. Thus, two weeks line up. Children left without cards ask the players questions:

Seventh day of the week, name your day of the week and come up with a proverb or saying about the number seven;

Wednesday, tell me what day is yours? Name fairy tales in which the number three appears.

Children return the cards to their original place and the game is repeated.

Sitting at the table

On the tables there are geometric figures of different shapes, sizes, and colors.

The teacher invites the children to sort the figures according to different criteria:

set aside the big red shapes and name them;

put aside the small figures, name them;

set aside all the quadrilaterals and name them;

set aside all triangles;

name the different shapes.

Guess it

Oleg has eight stamps. He gave all but three stamps to his friends. How many stamps does Oleg have left? Don’t rush to answer, tell me in my ear,” says the teacher.

After listening to the children's answers, he invites the children to justify their answer.

Names of the days of the week
A week is a seven-day period of time. In Rus', the week was called sedmitsa (seven days).
Monday is the first day of the week, following the week (the seventh day in ancient times was called the week).
Tuesday is the second day of the week.
Wednesday is the third day, which is in the middle of the week.
Thursday is the fourth day of the week.
Friday is the fifth day of the week.
Saturday - the sixth day (from the Hebrew word "Sabbath") - rest, end of business.
Christians began to call Sunday, the seventh day of the week, Sunday in honor of the miraculous resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Visual aids
To make it more clear and interesting for your child to learn the names of the days of the week, you can make various aids.
Circle with arrow. A circle cut out of cardboard is divided into 7 parts. We number each part (or draw 1 - 7 dots), sign it, you can draw some special thing that you usually do on this day (Monday - we go to the store - we draw a store, on Tuesday - we go to the pool, etc.). In the middle of the circle we make a rotating arrow so that you can move it by day of the week.
Train with windows. Each carriage is numbered, signed, and painted in its own color. Various animals are glued to the windows. The shutters at the windows are opening and closing. What day of the week - those shutters are open.
Poster with Velcro and pockets. Sew seven (according to the colors of the rainbow) multi-colored pieces of fabric or fleece one after another, making pockets from thick polyethylene or Velcro. Every day, a sun or a cloud is attached to pockets or Velcro and, depending on the day, a card with one dot, two, three, etc.
Flower - seven flowers. This flower can be made from cardboard or fleece. It is advisable that the petals be removed and reattached (with Velcro, buttons, zippers, paper clips, etc.). The child needs to attach a petal every day, and the next week, on the contrary, “open it”. At the same time, the days of the week and concepts such as yesterday, today, tomorrow are spoken out.
Ladder. We cut out a seven-step staircase from cardboard, number it, and sign it. Every day some fairy-tale hero or the child himself (cut out from a photograph and pasted on cardboard) will “climb” the ladder. If there is some interesting event coming up this week, for example, a Sunday trip to the circus, then on the very top step you can place a picture of a clown or a performing lion.
Tear-off calendar. Prepare a pack of leaves of different colors and the same size, number them, sign them, and staple them at the top. Every day the child will need to tear off a leaf and put it in a box. When there are 7 leaves, explain that this is a week. This tear-off calendar can be made from a notebook on springs.
There are many ready-made posters available for sale. You can purchase them and practice with them.
Engine. Depending on what day of the week, a ball or little animal is attached above the engine or above one of the cars. Children can move the ball themselves and name the days of the week.
.Helps to quickly remember the names of the days of the week
physical exercise “Days of the week”.

Tell your child a poem and, together with him, depict movements that correspond to the text:

On Monday we did the laundry
The floor was swept on Tuesday.
On Wednesday we baked kalach.
We played ball all Thursday.
On Friday we washed cups,
And on Saturday we bought a cake.
And of course on Sunday
Everyone was invited to the birthday party.
They sang, jumped, danced,
The days of the week have been counted.”

Visual gymnastics should be carried out regularly 2-3 times a day for 3-5 minutes. For gymnastics, you can use small objects and various exercise equipment. Gymnastics can be carried out according to verbal instructions, using poems and nursery rhymes.
When planning, it is recommended to take into account the principle of complication, first practicing simple eye movements: right-left, up-down, circular movements, squinting, blinking, protruding the eyes, and then using them along the floor of a more complex poetic text in various combinations. The poetic text should also be used small at first (up to 4 lines), and then move on to more complex and longer ones.
The most interesting are the gymnastics for the eyes, which use objects or tasks in poetic form, movements along certain paths, tasks to find objects and pictures in different parts of the group.

“Fun week” gymnastics for the eyes
Monday
All week in order, Raise your eyes up; lower them
The eyes are doing exercises. downwards, the head is motionless;
On Monday, when they wake up, (relieves eye strain).
The eyes will smile at the sun,
Look down at the grass
And back to heights.

Tuesday
On Tuesday, watch your eyes, turn your eyes to the right side,
They look this way and that, and then to the left, the head is motionless;
Walk left, walk right (relieves eye strain).
They will never get tired.

Wednesday
On Wednesday we play blindman's buff, close your eyes tightly,
Close our eyes tightly. count five and wide One, two, three, four, five, open your eyes; (exercise for
Let's open our eyes. relieving eye strain).
We close our eyes and open
So we continue the game.

Thursday
On Thursdays we look into the distance, Look straight ahead,
It’s not a waste of time to put your finger at a distance of 25-30 cm.
What is near and what is far from the eyes, move your gaze to the tip of your finger
You should look at your eyes. and look at him, lower your hand. (Strengthens
eye muscles and improves their coordination).

You need to breathe air. on the contrary (relaxes muscles and improves blood circulation).
- Without gymnastics, friends, close your eyes, then blink 10 times,
Our eyes cannot live! Repeat 2 times.

Games with a child
Games can be used to reinforce the concepts being learned.
We don't clap on Wednesday
You name any days of the week, the child claps his hands (1 time). But you can't clap your hands on Wednesday!

Be careful
You name different words, including days of the week. If the baby hears the name of the days of the week, then he should clap his hands: fox, bread, Tuesday, Wednesday, book, Sunday, shorts, bicycle, etc.

Weekends - weekdays
If you name a weekday day of the week, then the child pretends that he is doing something: playing with toys, writing, drawing. If it’s a day off, he claps his hands or pretends to be asleep, or something else at your discretion.

Throw the ball
Stand opposite each other, throw the ball to each other and take turns calling out the days of the week. You can make the game more difficult by calling the days of the week in reverse order.

Matryoshka dolls - days of the week
Together with your child, line up 7 nesting dolls according to height and ask him to name each matryoshka a certain day of the week. All seven matryoshka dolls are a week.

Toys and days of the week
Place 7 toys in front of the child and offer to give each toy a circle of seven different colors. The child hands it out and calls: “Monday for the bunny, Tuesday for the fox, etc.). Then the circles are collected, mixed and distributed again in exactly the same way in the order of the days of the week.

Poems
Funny poems will help you remember the names of the days of the week faster. There are many simple poems that will help you learn the days of the week. Regular repetition of these rhymes will eventually establish the order of days in children's minds. Don't worry if children confuse the days of the week. The concept of time is an abstract concept for young children and takes time to remember and learn.
The fly is clean
Once upon a time there lived a clean fly.
The fly was swimming all the time.
She swam on SUNDAY
In excellent strawberry jam.
ON MONDAY - in cherry liqueur,
On TUESDAY - in tomato sauce,
WEDNESDAY - in lemon jelly,
THURSDAY - in jelly and resin.
ON FRIDAY - in yogurt,
in compote and semolina porridge...
ON SATURDAY, having washed in ink,
She said: “I can’t do it anymore!”
Terribly, terribly tired,
But it doesn’t seem to have gotten any cleaner.
(Jan Brzechwa) Here is a week, there are seven days in it.
Get to know her quickly.
First day of all weeks
It will be called MONDAY.
TUESDAY is the second day,
He stands in front of the environment.
Middle WEDNESDAY
It was always the third day.
AND THURSDAY, the fourth day,
He wears his hat on one side.
Fifth - FRIDAY - sister,
A very fashionable girl.
And on SATURDAY, day six
Let's relax as a group
And the last one, SUNDAY,
Let's set a day of fun.

Tell us, animals,
how to remember the days of the week!
First Monday, bunny is a craftsman
and behind it comes Tuesday, the perky nightingale
and after Tuesday Wednesday - chanterelle food
after Wednesday Thursday - The wolf's eyes sparkled
Friday will follow Thursday like a kolobok
and after Friday, Saturday, there will be a bathhouse at the raccoon.
Saturday is followed by Sunday - we have fun all day long!... Where did Monday go?
-Where is the slacker Monday?-
Tuesday asks.
-Monday is not a slacker,
He's no slacker
He's an excellent janitor.
It's for Chef Wednesday
He brought a tub of water.
Fireman Thursday
He made a poker.
But Friday came
Shy, neat.
He left all his work
And I went with her on Saturday
By Sunday for lunch.
I said hello to you.
Seven days of the week
It's a pity there are only seven days a week -
Emelya has a lot to do:
MONDAY on the stove
Wipes the bricks.
Doesn’t get bored even on TUESDAY –
He weaves a muzzle for the elephant.
Tongue flails on WEDNESDAY
And he hits his neighbor.
After the rain on Thursday
He sets off fireworks.
FRIDAY is a hard day:
The shadow casts over the fence.
And SATURDAY is not Saturday:
He's hunting flies.
But the seventh day will come -
Pushes his hat on one side...
Because SUNDAY is
This is a holiday and fun:
And, lying down on the stove,
Emelya eats rolls!
In general, life is difficult for Emelya...
If there were eight days a week -
Then he would have time
Do a lot of important things! (A. Usachev) Emelya
We asked Emelya:
-Tell us the days of the week!
Emelya began to remember.
He began to call Emelya.
The uncle shouted to me:
Slacker!
This was on MONDAY.
I climbed into the attic
and the janitor drove me with a broom on TUESDAY.
ON WEDNESDAY I caught a bug
And fell out of the attic.
Fought on THURSDAY with cats and
stuck under the gate.
ON FRIDAY I teased the dog,
He tore his shirt.
And on SATURDAY - here's the fun -
I rode a pig.
I rested on SUNDAY,
I was lying on the bridge, bored,
Yes, he fell from the bridge into the river -
The man is unlucky!

Bear and days of the week:
Bear on Monday morning
I looked into the fragrant spruce forest.
Ant this afternoon
he helped build the house.

And on Tuesday it rained
The bear came to the wolf
Haven't seen him for a long time
and played dominoes.

On Wednesday Bear to the red squirrel
Dropped by for a gathering.
Read a book together
and the nuts cracked.

And on Thursday the bear woke up
and went to the beaver for a haircut,
got a fashionable hairstyle
and bought myself a comb.

On Friday with a new hairstyle
the bear went into the pine forest,
he was happy with the hare
there to collect a bucket of butter.

And on a fine Saturday
Our bear went to the swamp,
met a frog
I treated him to an oil can.

On the last day - Sunday
The bear made jam.
invited all my friends to a feast
I didn't even forget the birds

They flew past each other
seven fun days of the week
the bear managed to do everything
Nedelya managed to help all his friends
Big Brother MONDAY-
Hard worker, not a slacker.
He opens for a week
Makes everyone work.

TUESDAY follows brother
He has a lot of ideas,
He takes on everything boldly
And the work began to boil.

Here comes the middle sister
She shouldn't be lazy
And her name is WEDNESDAY,
A craftswoman anywhere.

Brother THURSDAY and this way and that,
He's a dreamy weirdo
Turned around by the end of the week
And it barely lasted.

FRIDAY - sister managed
Finish the job quickly.
If you're making progress,
There is also time for fun.

Penultimate brother SATURDAY
Doesn't go to work.
Rotten and mischievous
He's not used to working.

He has another talent -
He is a poet and musician,
Yes, not a joiner or a carpenter,
Traveler, hunter.

SUNDAY comes to visit,
He loves treats very much.
This is the youngest brother
He will be glad to come to you.
Just look at seven of them.
Do you remember everyone? Repeat.
S. Mikhalkov

Locomotive
Steam locomotive and six carriages:
There are exactly seven days in a week...
Across fields, hills, slopes
It's not too lazy to take the train.

Monday is a train
He is the beginning, as always,
Proudly carries the days of the week!
Afterwards - Tuesday and Wednesday.

And Thursday is rushing behind them
Happy Friday, of course...
Time will not slow down:
The train is moving quickly.

That's joy and fun:
Here's to Saturday and Sunday!
We want to tell you a secret:
The kids are excited about the weekend!

You can sleep longer in the morning,
Walk and play all day.
There's no point in jumping around
Only a slacker loves.
After the weekend again
It will be Monday.

Our cheerful train moves forward, -
A new week is here.
The sound of a clock is like the sound of wheels:
Balloons again - onto the locomotive!

Train and carriages
They're taking us into the unknown,
The train is rushing steadily -
Our route to the future.

Puzzles
For older children, at the stage of consolidating and practicing the material, you can ask riddles.

There are exactly seven of these brothers.
You all know them.
Every week around
Brothers walk after each other.
The last one will say goodbye -
The front one appears.
(Days of the week)
This one is a skilled worker.
He rejected laziness and idleness.
Everything is in a hurry to get done
Named day (Thursday).

They say it's heavy
And the slacker is not friends with him.
To work, to kindergarten, to school
Sends (Monday).

Tired since noon,
The day is going downhill.
"Oh, I'm tired! I wish I could rest!"
– I was daydreaming (Friday).
Full of worries early in the morning,
He will give us food and drink.
He is second in rank.
Well, of course it is (Tuesday).
This day awaits us
Just homework.
Washes, cleans, tidies up
Named day (Saturday).

On trains, in workshops, in cars
This day is always a busy day.
He is the middle of the week,
Well, simply, (Wednesday). Will leave everyone at home in the morning
Magical day. What luck!
But for some reason it passes
Very quickly (Sunday).

Learning the days of the week is not a quick process. At first, the child will confuse the order of the days. But with regular practice and repetition, things will eventually fall into place.

I think no one will argue that the ability to understand the days of the week is very useful for a child. When a child begins to attend kindergarten, clubs, sections, and encounters the work of various municipal institutions, he has many questions: why is there no need to go to kindergarten today? why go to the pool only tomorrow? All these institutions operate according to some kind of laws, which the child, of course, also wants to be aware of. If you teach your child to identify the days of the week, he will be able to roughly imagine what awaits him on a given day. And this is the first step towards planning your own time.

You should not pester a child under three years old with the weekly routine; for him this concept is still too abstract. You can't touch it or get a good look at it. And the sense of time has not yet been formed well enough. The most optimal time to get acquainted with the days of the week is the period when the child begins to attend various clubs, sections, and kindergarten on a regular basis. Here, Tuesdays and Wednesdays will no longer be empty phrases, but days associated with specific events.

In this article you will learn how to learn the days of the week with your children so that the process is easy and interesting.

As you know, children learn any information best when it is presented in a game. Therefore, do not rush to immediately present your child with an annual calendar with countless numbers, but rather prepare an accessible and visual game aid - something like a weekly calendar, on which it will be interesting for the child to keep track of the days of the week on a daily basis. For now, forget about numbers and months, pay attention only to the days of the week! It is advisable to make the calendar so that every day the child can detach / attach / stick / paint over something, etc. Thus, not only the visual channel of perception will be involved, but also the sensory one.


Taisiya and I have a calendar that looks like a steam locomotive, where each carriage is a pocket. The train hangs in the most visible and used place - the refrigerator. In the morning, Tasya transfers Mashenka to the trailer that corresponds to the upcoming day of the week, and at the same time checks what is planned for that day. Reminder pictures mounted above the trailers help her with this. Pictures can remind you of both regular sections and other interesting upcoming events (for example, a trip to the circus, grandma’s birthday). Here is an example of our reminders - dancing, swimming pool and music school.

A steam locomotive is just one of many design options for the first calendar. The calendar can also be made in the form of a staircase with steps, a seven-flowered flower whose petals are unfastened and fastened with Velcro, or simply in the form of a circle with seven sectors and a rotating arrow, etc.

After you have found the current day of the week on the calendar, It is useful to discuss with your child whether it is a weekday or a weekend (if parents work five-day shifts and the child attends kindergarten, these concepts are usually remembered quite easily). In addition, you can remember one of the poems about the days of the week (see below).

Be prepared for the fact that the child’s interest in the calendar will not last forever; most likely, after 3-4 weeks the baby’s enthusiasm will wane, and he will increasingly forget to approach the calendar. In this case, it is better to simply put the calendar aside for a while and return to it later. Or you can try tracking the days in a different way. For example, we really liked the puzzle “I learn the days of the week” by Oksva .

Of course, you can put together such a puzzle in one sitting, but, in my opinion, it is much more interesting and educational to add new details to the puzzle every day (for example, on Tuesday we give the child the number “2”, the word “Tuesday” and the corresponding detail of the picture ). So, as the week approaches the end, the picture will become larger. The sight of the unfinished picture really intrigues Taisiya, she diligently tries to remember what day is next, just to quickly get another piece of the puzzle

Older children can also be asked to color each day on a regular calendar or rearrange the day on a calendar with a movable window. Even if the child does not yet know double-digit numbers well, this will be a good preparation for getting to know them.

A child aged 4-5 may also like something like nature calendar (Labyrinth, Ozon, My-shop). It makes it possible to mark not only the day of the week, but also the seasons, month, date, weather.

2. Poems about the days of the week for children

In poetic form, as you know, everything is easier and faster to remember, so even now you can resort to the help of funny poems about the days of the week. I will give you some good poems. We like to read them, pointing to each day of the week on the calendar in turn (for example, to the carriages on a steam locomotive).

On Monday we did the laundry
The floor was swept on Tuesday.
On Wednesday we baked kalach.
We played ball all Thursday.
On Friday we washed cups,
And on Saturday we bought a cake.
And of course on Sunday
Everyone was invited to the birthday party.
They sang, jumped, danced,
The days of the week were counted.
Here is a week, there are seven days in it.
Get to know her quickly.
First day of all weeks
It will be called Monday.
Tuesday is the second day
He stands in front of the environment.
Middle Wednesday
It was always the third day.
And Thursday, the fourth day,
He wears his hat on one side.
Fifth - Friday-sister,
A very fashionable girl.
And on Saturday, the sixth day,
Let's rest as a group.
And the last one, Sunday,
Let's set a day of fun.
Tell us, animals,
First-Monday –
Handicraft bunny!
Tuesday comes for him -
The nightingale is a perky one.
After Tuesday - Wednesday,
Fox food.
After Wednesday is Thursday -
The wolf's eyes sparkled.
After Thursday comes Friday
It will roll like a bun.
After Friday is Saturday,
Bathhouse at the raccoon.
After Saturday - Sunday,
We have fun all day long.
The fly is clean
Once upon a time there lived a clean fly.
The fly was swimming all the time.
She swam on Sunday
In excellent strawberry jam.
On Monday - in cherry liqueur,
On Tuesday - in tomato sauce,
On Wednesday - in lemon jelly,
On Thursday - in jelly and resin.
On Friday - in yogurt,
in compote and semolina porridge...
On Saturday, after washing in ink,
She said: “I can’t do it anymore!”
Terribly, terribly tired,
But it doesn’t seem to have gotten any cleaner.
The week is running, hurrying
The days are flashing by quickly
So what, in fact,
Are they filled?
- Yes, in different ways!
My son answered me. –
I went on Monday
Going to the skating rink with friends
Tuesday with brother Vane
I played horses
And on Wednesday I took the sleigh
And he rolled him from the mountains.
Thursday alone with my brother
We looked at books.
And on Friday first
We're a little bored
And then for your birthday
They wrote invitations.
On Saturday we sang in the choir,
We tried our best.
And on Sunday we ate
Strawberry pie.

3. Games

Well, so that everything you have learned is not forgotten, it is useful to sometimes play these games:

  • An adult names the days of the week in random order. If a child hears the name of a weekday, then he pretends that he is busy with some activity - drawing, building with blocks, reading a book, etc... If the name of a weekend is pronounced, then the child pretends to be resting - sleeping , dancing, clapping - your choice.
  • The adult lists different words, including the names of the days of the week. When the child hears the day of the week among a number of words, he should clap his hands. All other words should be ignored.
  • As you play ball, with each throw, name the days of the week in the order they appear on the calendar. The game will help you remember the sequence of days.
  • Older children can be asked the following problems from time to time: What day of the week is hidden between Tuesday and Thursday? What day comes after Friday? Before Wednesday? What is the first day of the week? And the last one?

4. Cartoons about the days of the week for children

Among the cartoons that tell children about the days of the week, I couldn’t find any that I could really recommend wholeheartedly. Mostly you come across cartoons with very primitive plots and forgettable characters. But if we have to choose from what is available, then the cartoons about the Chukh-Chuk train “Learning the days of the week with a child” seemed to me the most worthy. If you come across something more interesting, I will be glad if you share your finds in the comments.

Finally, as usual, I will mention one useful book on the topic; to my surprise, it turned out to be a very good help.
