Days of the week cards
Day names become useful when they connect with something familiar. Put today’s card next to a picture of an ordinary routine, then talk about what comes next. You can choose the week start that suits your family’s calendar; the repeating sequence is the same whichever card you place first.

What we’re exploring
Become familiar with the seven day names and connect them with a repeating weekly sequence.
A little way to play
- Find today’s card with an adult. Say its name and mention something ordinary happening today.
- Lay out the seven cards in order, starting on Monday or Sunday as you prefer.
- Find the next day and use the word “tomorrow”. Return to today before looking for “yesterday”.
- Make the cards into a loop to show that the sequence starts again after Sunday.
Make it easier
Use only today and tomorrow. An adult reads the words while the child places a familiar activity picture beside today.
Try a little moreChoose another starting day and continue the sequence all the way round. Ask which day comes before Friday or after Sunday, using the cards to check.
For the grown-up
A young child does not need to memorise the entire week before using a simple routine board. Work schedules, school days and weekends differ between families and places; describe your own routine rather than assuming one.
Answers & naming help
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, then Monday again. The day after Sunday is Monday. A Sunday-first calendar shows the same cycle from a different starting point.
Monday · Tuesday · Wednesday · Thursday · Friday · Saturday · Sunday
How do I print this?
Choose your vocabulary and paper size, then download the PDF. Print at actual size or 100%. Use the low-ink option for outline activities; colour-name cards still need their colour to teach the word. Cut-and-stack mini-books are available in the flashcard maker.
