Help the preschoolers learn how to spell the days of the week by cutting out letters and spelling each day in order on construction paper. Ask the kids what each day means to them. For instance, some kids might say that they like Saturday because they are off from school and they get to spend extra time with their family. Other kids might like Wednesday because this is the day they get to take eat pizza. Write down one sentence about what each day represents directly underneath the days on the calendar.
Help the preschool children learn about the days of the week by making a miniature book that highlights what they are doing each day of the week. Use card stock or construction paper and punch holes in the binding of the book for ribbon or yarn. Help the kids cut out letters with colorful construction paper and spell out each day of the week on separate pieces of paper. The kids will then create a new page for each day of the week. They can draw pictures or cut out photos from magazines that resemble their activities for the day.
You can also teach preschoolers about the days of the week by focusing on one day at a time as the week progresses. On Monday you can talk about what day it is and help the kids make a Monday collage. Show them how to spell out each day and glue the words on poster board paper. They can decorate their collage with stickers and other embellishments.
Teach your preschool students about the days of the week by giving them a yearly calendar of their very own to decorate. Give the children markers, stickers and other embellishments. Show them each day of the week on the calendar and ask them about what days are important to them. They can place stickers or draw small pictures on their birthday or other favorite holidays. Help the kids write down upcoming events, so that their calendar matches up with the school calendar.
