How to use this worksheet
Look at the pair of months already shown together and say them aloud in order. Look at the answer options provided and figure out which month logically comes next in the sequence. Have your child color or circle the correct month, then continue through the remaining pairs on the page, reciting the months in order as a check.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Crayons or colored pencils
Extension activities
- •Create a calendar with the months of the year and mark special family dates.
- •Sing the 'Months of the Year' song together to reinforce the sequence.
- •Draw a picture representing something special about each month.
- •Play a card game putting shuffled month cards back into the correct order.
Tips for parents and teachers
Encourage your child to say the months out loud as they complete the worksheet, since repetition and rhythm help this list stick in memory. This reinforces memory and pronunciation, especially for trickier months like February or September.
