Free Days of the week teaching resources

 Days of the week worksheets.

This resource includes 10 pages of days of the week's fun activities: pencil-shaped days of the week cards, matching days of the week names, writing and guessing missing the letters and days of the week.

Students will practice learning and saying days of the week through cards, games, and activities. 

There are several activities that I use in my classroom:

1. Put in order.

Put days of the week cards randomly on the table and ask students to put the days in order. You can conduct this activity organizing group or pair game. 

2. Run and bring! 

Divide the class into two teams; ask them to stand in two rows. Each student from each group should be ready to run and bring the day that teacher asks. A student who brings the card first will be the winner. 

3. “Cross the river” 

This game looks like role play; you need a crocodile mask or costume, days of the week cards, and inspire students to be swimmers. Put the cards on the floor in order or you can draw a big river on the floor and put the cards, ask the crocodile (who plays the role of crocodile) to stand along with the cards. A student should play the role of the swimmer and say days of the week while swimming. If a student can’t say the name of the day the crocodile eats his/her up. 

4. “Throw me day!” game

You need a ball in the classroom to play this game. Ask one student as a leader of the game to take the ball and throw it to anyone saying any day of the week. For example Monday! 

The next student who catches the ball should say the next day – Tuesday. The game can be played by changing leaders until you sure the days of the week memorized well.

Calm activities like matching the days of the week and writing missing letters help students to work in groups or pairs creatively and logically. 

Have fun!

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

 Fun Peace Day activities

                       "Peace begins with a smile" ~ Mother Teresa

What can be better than to start a Peace Day lesson with a smile? International Day of Peace is celebrated all over the world on the 21st of September. 

Teaching children about peace means raise awareness about life with happiness, negotiation, harmony, inner-peace, respect for each other, protecting peaceful life and environment, living in a friendly relationship with neighbors, and much more. 

I was thinking about activities that can be useful to build a culture of peace before starting to create them. These worksheets include 5 pages of Reading comprehension, PEACE acrostic poem templates, Vocabulary awareness,  “Peace Day” coloring page, and “Peace Day Kite” crafting. Absolutely free.

I strongly believe that all of us should protect our peace on earth, and teaching children about peace means a lot in their lives. I also hope activities that I created on this theme will help our students to become critical and creative thinkers.

 Back to school reading and speaking 

I am more than sure that all students are happy to back to school after summer and they are eager to learn harder this year as they became one grade older.

As teachers, we know that it’s essential to help school children to adapt to the classroom after the summer holidays.  

“ Back to school” reading and speaking worksheets help students to improve concentration, adapt to the new academic year starting, and improve speaking about the school, subjects, and so on. This resource includes 6 pages; each page has a short text, picture, and questions for group or pair discussion.
