Magical day. What luck!
But for some reason it passes
Very quickly... (Answer: Sunday)
As you guess, the teacher takes out one person at a time: Monday - red, Tuesday - orange, Wednesday - yellow, Thursday - green, Friday - blue, Saturday - blue, Sunday - purple.
Educator: And each day of the week has its own house with a number. Let's put them in our houses.
The teacher takes the little man. Houses with colored roofs lie on the teacher’s table, the child comes up and chooses a house desired color(the same as the clothes of the man). Each house with a person is attached to a board. So all 7 houses.
Educator: Let's repeat the numbers and names of the days of the week. (The first is Monday, the second is Tuesday, etc.) How many days are there in a week? (Seven.) Let's check if this is true. (The teacher and the children count the days of the week using a wall calendar.)
Game "Name it quickly."
The teacher asks questions like: What day of the week is today?
What day of the week was yesterday?
Name the day of the week after Wednesday.
What day of the week will it be tomorrow?
Name the day of the week between Wednesday and Friday.
Educator: What seasons do you know?
Name the autumn months.
Name the spring months.
Name the winter months.
Educator: Do you know that there are 4 weeks in any month? Let's calculate together whether this is true. (Shows the lines of the wall calendar by week, counting with the children.)
We made sure that each month has 4 weeks. How many months are there in one year? (Count: 12 months.)
Educator: Guys, we did a good job. It's time to get some rest.
A physical lesson “Days of the week” is held.
On Monday I swam (pretend swimming)
And on Tuesday I was drawing (we pretend to be drawing)
On Wednesday I took a long time to wash my face, (wash my face)
And on Thursday I played football (running in place)
On Friday I jumped, ran, (jumping in place)
I danced for a very long time, (spring)
And on Saturday, Sunday (claps hands)
I rested the whole day. (we squat down and fall asleep).
Educator: I know another interesting game called“Which day of the week is lost?” Do you want to play with me? When I say "Night", you will close your eyes. When you hear “Day”, open your eyes and determine what has changed, what day of the week is missing?
If children find it difficult to answer to determine the name of the day of the week, then the teacher suggests determining it by naming the days of the week that are located before the lost one.
Game "Get in order."
There are upside-down numbers (two sets) lying in disarray on the table. Children turn into the seven days of the week and move around the group. At the teacher’s signal, the children take numbers from the table and line up in order from 1 to 7. The players line up in order, in accordance with the number indicated on the card. Thus, two weeks line up. Children left without cards ask the players questions:
Egor, name your day of the week;
Wednesday, respond;
Lera, name your day of the week; who are your neighbors?
Children return the cards to their original place and the game is repeated.
Educator: Guys, you are so great! Let's remember what we did in class today? What new did you learn? Which game did you like best?
Remember all the days of the week in order - for a child preschool age the task is quite difficult. Few children 5-6 or even 7 years old can list them all without hesitation. But this topic is important and it is necessary to introduce the baby to the names of the days of the week and their order in kindergarten. To simplify explanations, use visual aids, and we will help you with this in any way we can.
If you and your child have already learned the order of the colors of the rainbow, you can make associations: 7 colors - 7 days of the week. Print out the pictures. Now you can play with your child, the task is to put the train trailers in the right order.
Cards for remembering the days of the week by the colors of the rainbow
Days of the week in verse
And of course, every child loves funny poems. He loves and remembers well. These poems can be told to your child from the very beginning. early age, and then you will subsequently have no problems learning the days of the week. We study the topic with birds:
The following verses analogize the days of the week to little men, each with their own character associated with these days. The cards depict circles of 7 colors of the rainbow, but you need to start from Sunday, because Sunday is a day off and is usually highlighted in red on the calendar.

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 visual 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, two, three, etc. dots.
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 someone will “climb” the ladder fairy tale hero or the child himself (cut out from a photograph and pasted onto cardboard). 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 using 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.

Visual gymnastics should be carried out regularly 2-3 times a day for 3-5 minutes. Can be used for gymnastics small items, various exercise machines. 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 groups.

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 call 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 - on 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.

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 one after another.
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, eventually everything will 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 the child begins to attend kindergarten, clubs, sections, and encounters the work of various municipal institutions, he has a lot of questions: why don’t you 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 - this 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 an uncountable number of 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 days a week 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 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 in 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'll 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 is 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.
