Days of the week

This topic is very important to work, because is a natural thing for kids and something they are in contact. When learners are interested in a topic they are motivated to acquire language to communicate. For this reason is better to teach the language is seen in real‐life situations in which students can acquire the language.

Everyday we can start to ask the children what day is today? And what day will be tomorrow? This routine helps the children to memorize the days of the week and to learn the order.

One activity is the train of the week. This activity consists in order the days of the week; we will use different wagons for the different days. They should put one card with one day of the week in the correct wagon. Each wagon will have the day written in Spanish.

Other activity can be to make series. With this activity we get that the children work the order of the days. We have seven card with the days, the pupils should order it in correct order. 

The wall charts and poster are good resources in this case. Wall charts comprise a sequence of events related in time or space. Posters lack the sequential structure of wall charts. You can also use a calendar in English.
