Focus

This is a classic tune for the days of the week. It's very short and simple and great for playing in the background in the classroom, at home, or in the car while kids gradually pick up on the days of the week and their order.

Activities

Try stopping the music at certain days and see if the children can say the next day. Sing while you point at a calendar. If you are using the song in class, assign each student a different day of the week and give them a sign with that day written on it. As the song plays, each student must stand up and sing his/her day at the right time. After singing the song, mix the students up and then have them put themselves in the correct order, starting from Sunday. Mix them up again, have them trade signs, and then have them put themselves in the correct order again, this time starting from Monday.

You can also tell the whole class to stand up on "Wednesday", or stand up on "Tuesday" and sit down on "Friday" . These activities help students internalize the order of the days of the week.
