Our website continues to publish various interesting methods of development and learning for children. Today there will be a description of how easier it is to remember the days of the week in English for a baby?
The first thing to do is to take a calendar, open all the days of the week in pictures, read them and understand what exactly the days of the week are associated with? The baby or you. In my version, these associations look like this.
In the stationery store we buy the most ordinary notebook on a large number of sheets, I have in a cage. Here we will paste all the pictures and write the words.
Monday- It is Monday. If you type on the Internet, then everyone explains that there is a word moon - the moon, in the word Monday one letter “o” disappears, nevertheless this is the day of the moon. You can take a photo of the moon, but when I pronounce this word, it evokes the image of a baby who does not want to eat semolina porridge. We write through the letter "o", and we read "Munday". This moment is marked with a marker.
Tuesday- It's Tuesday. On Tuesday we play cards. Tuesday, you hear the ace that is in the playing cards. In the photo you can show a game of cards, cards or an ace card, as you like.
Wednesday- Wednesday. The letter "d" is written, but not read - this must be remembered. Wednesday - Ben goes to the doctor, for example, to donate blood from veins s.
Thursday- Thursday. The combination th is an interdental sign, we read sho (o) zdey. On Thursday we look at the stars.
Friday– Friday. All the children are looking forward to this day, because there are 2 days off ahead. Working people on the 5/2 system are also waiting for him, which means that on Friday we go to heaven - Friday.
In the children's performance, everyone said thatfri - this is french fries, I said then, so that they remember that on this day they are given french fries for free. You can find a picture depicting walking, relaxing, listening to music.
Saturday- Saturday. When writing, it is clear that the word is similar to the word satire, but children, even at the age of 12, do not understand and do not associate it with this word. Setadey - set - a game in tennis. On Saturday we play tennis, go in for sports.
Sunday- Sunday. Sun means the sun. Sunny day is Sunday.
Many children begin to argue and say that it is raining or snowing outside the window.
We find suitable pictures on the Internet, clippings from magazines, or let children draw. We take a small notebook, I have 24 sheets, you can cut the drawing album so that the sheet is white (without a ruler and a cage). We apply glue and glue the photo. We write days with colored felt-tip pens.
On the left side, it is better to write the prepositions with which the days of the week are used. In this case, it is "on". On Monday - on Monday.
Below are ordinal numbers and a sentence about a given day of the week.
On Monday we open the notebook on Monday, on Tuesday on Tuesday, we call the day, we spell it several times. And so, through the visual range, a baby and even an adult can easily learn the days of the week.
You can put the notebook in a transparent file for documents and hang it on the front door (kitchen door). Change the days of the week according to the days. And your baby will gradually remember all the days of the week.

7 Games, songs and fairy tales in English about the days of the week (flash)
The origin of the names of the days of the week in English
In Latin, Romance and Germanic languages, the origin of the designations of the days of the week is associated with the names of the celestial bodies of the solar system: the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the Sun (in turn, named after the Roman gods). Monday was proclaimed the Day of the Moon, Tuesday the Day of Mars, and so on. In modern Italian, Spanish and French, the names of the first five planets have been preserved as the names of the days of the week. In English, only Monday ( Monday), Saturday ( Saturday) and Sunday ( Sunday) have names equivalent to Latin ones. The remaining days in English also bear the names of the planets, but have already received names in honor of the gods of Scandinavian mythology: Tuesday ( Tuesday) is named after Tiu (Tiw), Wednesday ( Wednesday) in honor of Woden, Thursday ( Thursday) - in honor of Thor (Thor), and Friday ( Friday) - in honor of Freya (Freya).

Day in English and Russian
In English there is no special word for the concept expressed by the Russian word day; the corresponding concept can be expressed in English in a descriptive way, as day and night or twenty-four hours.
The same span of twenty-four hours is divided differently in English and Russian. English speakers divide this period into three parts: morning(from 0 to 12 noon), noon(from noon to about 18 hours, that is, until sunset) and evening(from sunset to midnight, after which it comes again morning). As for the words day and night, then they denote a different division of the day, not into three, but into two parts: light ( day) and dark ( night). In addition, the word day used in the same way as abbreviation day and night, that is, in the meaning of the Russian day.
In Russian, the picture is different - the day is divided into four parts, namely: morning (from sunrise to about 10 or 11 o'clock), afternoon (from 10 or 11 o'clock to sunset), evening (from sunset to about 10 or 11 hours) and night (between evening and morning, that is, the time when people sleep).
G. H. Andersen's tale about the days of the week in English
The days of the week once wanted to be free to get together and have a party.
The days of the week also wanted to get together and feast at least once.
But each of the seven days was so occupied, the year around, that they had no time to spare.
But each of them was on the account, they were so busy all year round that they could not do it.
They wanted a whole extra day; but then they had that every four years,
They had to wait an extra day, and this is only issued once every four years.
the intercalary day that comes in February for the purpose of keeping order in chronology.
- in February of a leap year; it is estimated to equalize the scores
What do you think is the difference between the English week and the Russian one? Both there and there are seven days: five weekdays and two days off. But there are a couple of differences...
In the modern world, a person needs to know the days of the week in English and their abbreviations, because one way or another he encounters them: in the calendars used on various gadgets (phones and tablets), in any programs, partially or not at all Russified. Not everywhere there is a translation into Russian, so you can get confused without knowing English at all. It would seem why you can get confused if the days of the week are the same everywhere, and you can simply determine by sequence which day is which? The fact is that in the English week the beginning is considered not from Monday, as we have, but from Sunday (despite this, Saturday and Sunday are also considered days off, and from Monday to Friday - weekdays). And sometimes because of this, the calendar is slightly different from the Russian one - the first day is Sunday, not Monday. And all weeks end in this case, respectively, on Saturday. That is why, so that you have an idea about how the days of the week are written in English, and do not make a mistake when using the new calendar, we have prepared this material for you.
You have learned the first difference from a week in Russia starting on Monday. What is the second difference? The difference lies in the fact that the days of the week in English are considered proper names and are always written with a capital letter.
Actually, let's move on to listing them and writing them with translation into Russian.
Days of the week in English with translation into Russian
Sunday - Sunday
Monday - Monday
Tuesday - Tuesday
Wednesday - Wednesday
Thursday - Thursday
Friday - Friday
Saturday - Saturday
Example sentences using these words:
Sunday is my favorite day of the week. Sunday is my favorite day of the week.
I like Saturday too. I like Saturday too.
Today is Monday. Today is monday.
It will be on Tuesday. It will be on Tuesday.
I received the parcel on Wednesday. I received the parcel on Wednesday.
I will write you on Thursday. I will write to you on Thursday.
We meet with my friends on Fridays. We meet with my friends on Fridays.
What are the days of the week in English abbreviated
There are two types of abbreviations: two letters and three. Let's list all the options.
Sunday - Sun - Su (Sun)
Monday - Mon - Mo (Mon)
Tuesday - Tue - Tu (Tue)
Wednesday - Wed - We (Wed)
Thursday - Thu - Th (Thursday)
Friday - Fri - Fr (Fri)

Note that abbreviated names are also capitalized.
We hope that now you will be able to distinguish the days by their designations in the calendar, even if they are not translated into Russian.
