About this resource
Description
January, February, March… Knowing the twelve months in order helps children read a calendar, find birthdays and talk about the year. This Months of the Year Activity gives 1st and 2nd grade students a colorful card game for putting the months in order and sorting them into the four seasons.
Each Month Card shows the month name with a bright seasonal picture, like a snowman for January, a kite for March and a pumpkin for October. Students mix up the cards, find January, and build a long line of months in order. Then they lay out the four Season Cards and move each month under winter, spring, summer or fall. The Recording Sheet lets students write the months in order and list the months in each season. This months in order activity works well in math centers, morning meeting or partner practice, and a practice worksheet follows with month questions and a word box.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page with prep steps and directions
- 12 picture Month Cards
- 4 Season Cards
- A Recording Sheet for month order and seasons
- A 1st grade practice worksheet with month-order questions and a word box
- Answer keys for the game and the practice worksheet
Why This Months of the Year Activity Helps Kids
First, the seasonal pictures give every month a memory hook, so the order sticks. Second, moving real cards into a line is hands-on and fun, which keeps young learners busy and talking. Third, sorting months by season connects the calendar to the weather and changes children see outside.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Sing a months song while students build the line. Ask questions like which month comes after June or which season has the most birthdays in your class. Hang the cards in order around the room, or send a set home so families can practice the months together.
