Days of the Week and Months in Spanish for Kids

Learning the calendar in Spanish unlocks conversations about birthdays, seasons, and school schedules. Below you’ll find playful strategies to teach los días and los meses plus Dinolingo boosts that keep practice fun.

1. Introduce the Seven Days (Los Siete DĂ­as)

• lunes

• martes

• miércoles

• jueves

• viernes

• sábado

• domingo

Memory Trick: Start with lunes think “lunar Monday” and end on domingo, the day of rest. Chant the sequence while clapping or tapping a drum.

2. Pair Days with Real Routines

Ask questions at breakfast: ÂżQuĂŠ dĂ­a es hoy? (Hoy es martes.) Older kids can add yesterday and tomorrow (ayer fue lunes, maĂąana serĂĄ miĂŠrcoles).

3. Sing Along

Search “Los días de la semana canción” on YouTube Kids or Rockalingua. Encourage motions—jump on sábado, stretch on domingo—to anchor meanings.

4. Introduce the Twelve Months (Los Doce Meses)

enero, febrero, marzo, abril, mayo, junio, julio, agosto, septiembre, octubre, noviembre, diciembre.

Divide into seasons: primavera (marzo–mayo), verano (junio–agosto), otoño (septiembre–noviembre), invierno (diciembre–febrero). Have children illustrate a mini calendar with seasonal symbols.

5. Calendar Crafts

Create a reusable Spanish calendar board. Each morning, kids move a marker to today’s date and announce it: Hoy es jueves, 15 de abril.

6. Game Ideas

  • Bingo Meses: Call a month; kids cover it on their boards.
  • Secret Day: Whisper a day; players spell it aloud one letter at a time.
  • Birthday Line‑Up: Students arrange themselves in order of their birthday months, naming their month in Spanish.
