Days Of the Week Song

August 9, 2021 By Sara Mullett 2 Comments

Children love routine, it gives them a sense of security and they are always happy when they know what to expect and what will be happening tomorrow.

This Days of the Week Song is perfect for teaching them the order of the days as the come round each week. And feel free to make your own additions to the weekly time table to include a swimming trip or other regular activities.

Chant to Teach the Days of the Week

Days Of The Week Song

Monday starts the week,

Then Tuesday follows on,

Wednesday’s in the middle,

Then Thursday comes along,

Friends to play on Friday,

Saturday’s are fun!

Off to church on Sunday,

The whole week has been done!

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, makes a

Who – le   –  week!

(This song borrows the tune from “I Am A little Pussycat“)

 

  • As you can see from the video above, this song is very easy to play on the chime bars and if you have a set,  have a go at playing it yourself and then letting your child have a try.
  • Take a look at our post on Introducing Do – Re – Mi to get you started.
  • It is well worth  investing in some chime bars or a xylophone, as they are a fantastic starter instrument.
  • They’re fantastic for learning the notes of the scale and starting to recognise intervals, patterns and sequences from an early age, and in a playful way that is also excellent practice for motor skills and co-ordination.

      Hi Alice, ‘The Days Of The Week Song’ is sung to the same very simple tune as ‘I’m A little Pussycat’ which you can listen to in the video clip included in the post. Each line of the song climbs up the scale of C major and when you reach the top, you just go down again on each day of the week. Sara
