Let’s sing and learn about the months of the year! Are you ready? Let’s go!
Here are the months of the year:
January, February, March, and April,
May, June, July, and August,
September, October, November, December—
These are the months of the year!
Do you know how many days are in each month? Let’s find out!
September, April, June, and November have 30 days.
Most of the other months have 31 days.
But February is special! It has 28 days.
February is the shortest month. But every four years, something special happens!
February gets an extra day, making it 29 days long. We call this a leap year!
Let’s sing the months again:
January, February, March, and April,
May, June, July, and August,
September, October, November, December—
These are the months of the year!
We learned so much about the months! There are many more fun things to learn.
Keep exploring and having fun with learning every day!
Month Matching Game: Create a set of cards with the names of the months and another set with pictures representing events or holidays that happen in those months (like snowflakes for December or pumpkins for October). Mix them up and ask the children to match each month with the correct picture. This will help them associate months with seasonal events and holidays.
Days in a Month Activity: Use a calendar and some small stickers. Ask the children to count the days in each month and place a sticker on the last day of each month. Discuss which months have 30 days, 31 days, and why February is special. This hands-on activity will help them understand the concept of different month lengths.
Leap Year Leapfrog: Explain the concept of a leap year with a fun physical activity. Set up a simple obstacle course and have the children pretend to be frogs. Every fourth jump, they must make a “leap” over a small hurdle to represent the extra day in February during a leap year. This will help them remember the concept of a leap year through movement and play.
