Ask children to arrange them in the correct order.
Encourage children to say the days aloud as they place the cards.
Activity 4: My Birthday Month Game (10 minutes)
Place months of the year on the floor in a circle.
Each child runs to their birth month.
The first child to reach their month picks a task from a box.

“Dance like a robot!”
“Say your favorite food!”
“Make a funny face for 5 seconds!”
Activity 5: Days of the Week Movement Game (10 minutes)
