Activities for Days of the Week
Once kids know the days by sight, these cards work for more than just the wall display. A few ways to stretch the same printable across the week:
- Order the week: mix up the cards and have students race to put them back in order, starting from Sunday or Monday depending on your classroom convention.
- Yesterday, today, tomorrow: pull three cards and have students identify which one is “today,” then find yesterday and tomorrow.
- Schedule cards: pair each day card with that day’s special (art, gym, music) for a visual weekly schedule.
- School days vs. weekend: sort the cards into two groups, a quick concept check for younger students still learning the school week.
- Spelling practice: use the cards as a reference while students copy or trace each day’s name onto handwriting paper.
For more letter-recognition practice alongside the days of the week, our alphabet flashcards make a good pairing for early readers.
