Calendar words — English games for kids

The Days and Months topic gives you 23 concrete, drawable, act-out-able words — ideal game material for young learners. Below: the full word list, five ways to play it (each opens a game with this topic already loaded), and the printables for offline lessons.
A word becomes the child's own after roughly seven meetings. One topic, several different games — that's how the meetings happen without a single drill.
The words (23)
- 1️⃣ Monday — понедельник
- 2️⃣ Tuesday — вторник
- 3️⃣ Wednesday — среда
- 4️⃣ Thursday — четверг
- 5️⃣ Friday — пятница
- 6️⃣ Saturday — суббота
- 7️⃣ Sunday — воскресенье
- ⛄ January — январь
- 💘 February — февраль
- 🌷 March — март
- ☔ April — апрель
- 🌼 May — май
- 🍓 June — июнь
- 🍉 July — июль
- ⛱️ August — август
- 🍎 September — сентябрь
Five ways to play them
- Memory Match — picture↔word pairs from the Days and Months set; every flip is said aloud. Two-player mode for student vs teacher.
- Bingo — you call the words, kids hunt their cards: listening practice with a winner's shout at the end.
- Flip Cards — the deck on screen: picture first, the child names it, flip to check. Great for the first meeting with the words.
- Word Scramble — the topic's shorter words, letter by letter: spelling dressed as a puzzle.
- Balloon Words — save the word before the balloons fly away: the alphabet drill children ask to repeat.
Print & go
For offline lessons (or online students with a printer), the same Days and Months words come as A4 printables: cut-out flashcards with three label options, a one-page poster for the wall, unique bingo sheets with a caller's list, and a matching worksheet with an upside-down answer key.
Take this with you
One topic, 23 words, five games and four printables: enough material for two or three lessons plus the review that makes it stick. Pick six words to master per lesson — the rest will follow.
