LLFE-YL07 · Monday, Tuesday… — Days of the Week Chant

A2 · YOUNG LEARNERS · VOCABULARY

📅 Monday, Tuesday…

⏱ 5 minutes · 📚 CELTA-informed · 🎯 Cambridge A2

📖 From the teacher’s desk: In my years managing restaurants in Sydney, the busiest days were Friday and Saturday — always. Now in La Réunion, my son asks every morning “Is it a school day?” and I realise how fundamental the days of the week are for organising a child’s world. A chant makes them stick immediately.

🎯 By the end of this lesson, you can: say all 7 days of the week in order and use them in simple sentences.
