Let’s say them again: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December. Yay!
Each month is different and special. Here are some fun things about them:
January is the first month of the year. It’s often cold and snowy, and we celebrate the New Year!
February is the shortest month. It has Valentine’s Day, a day to show love and friendship.
March brings springtime, with flowers starting to bloom and the weather getting warmer.
April is known for its rain showers, which help the flowers grow.
In May, many flowers are in full bloom, and it’s a great time to play outside.
June is the start of summer, with lots of sunshine and fun outdoor activities.
July is often hot, and many people enjoy going to the beach or having picnics.
August is a time for summer vacations and enjoying the last days of summer.
In September, the leaves start to change color, and school begins for many kids.
October is known for Halloween, a fun time to dress up and go trick-or-treating.
November has Thanksgiving, a holiday to be thankful and enjoy a big meal with family.
December is the last month of the year, with holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah, and lots of festive decorations.
Each month is a new adventure. What is your favorite month, and what do you like to do during that time? Let’s have fun learning and celebrating all year long!
Month Matching Game: Create a set of cards with the names of the months on one set and pictures representing each month on another set (e.g., snowflakes for January, flowers for May, pumpkins for October). Mix them up and have the children match the month name with the correct picture. This will help them associate each month with its unique characteristics.
Weather and Clothing Activity: Discuss with the children what kind of weather each month might have and what clothes are suitable for that weather. For example, in January, you might wear a coat and hat, while in July, you might wear shorts and a t-shirt. Have the children draw or cut out pictures from magazines to create a “Month and Weather” collage.
Monthly Observations Journal: Encourage the children to keep a simple journal for one month. Each week, they can draw a picture or write a few words about what they notice outside, like changes in the weather, plants, or activities they do. At the end of the month, discuss how the month felt and what they enjoyed the most.
