These flashcards and posters can be used in the morning while singing a days of the week song. Why not choose two kids each morning to tell the class what day it is!
As always, the flashcards come in multiple versions, helping teachers to fully customize their flashcard set depending on their student’s level. The first set comes with the day’s word accompanied by a colorful visual aid in the form of growing grass. This set also has a colorful visual representation of where the day is positioned within the week. Having this visual aid helps students to understand that there are 7 days in each week.
The second set comes with the same calendar style visual aid but is slightly less colorful. This flashcard set contains the abbreviated day words found on many calendars.

How To Use These Days of the Week Flashcards
These days of the week flashcards can be used in simple daily routines to help children learn the order of the week and understand basic time vocabulary.
Start by introducing one day at a time and repeat it regularly. For example, say the day clearly and have students repeat it:
“Monday… Monday… Today is Monday.”
Use the flashcards every morning during circle time or calendar time to build strong daily habits and routine awareness.
Once students are familiar with all seven days, begin practising sequencing by putting the days in order from Monday to Sunday.
You can also introduce simple speaking questions such as “What day is it today?” to encourage everyday classroom communication.
These flashcards work best when used consistently as part of a daily classroom routine.
