Days and Months in Spanish
Updated: Mar 28
Days of the week
I have created a delightful song for my students to practice the days of the week in Spanish. This song goes beyond simply teaching the names of the days; it also includes vocabulary that aligns with the song's rhythm.
To enhance the memorization of the words, I have incorporated hand gestures that align with each day of the week and its corresponding vocabulary. I encourage you to watch the video below, as it provides a visual demonstration of how to teach the song using these engaging hand gestures. It will give you a better idea of how to effectively convey the song and its accompanying actions to your students.

This innovative product features a set of pencils, each one representing a specific day of the week in Spanish. Each pencil is designed with vibrant colors and the corresponding name of the day, making it a visually appealing resource. You can use this language learning resource with learners of all ages, allowing them to easily identify and remember the sequence of the days. Whether in the classroom, at home, or on the go, these pencils provide a tangible and interactive way to reinforce the concept of the weekdays in Spanish.
In this other video, I present a creative approach to teach the days of the week in a fun and memorable way. I share a helpful tip that involves associating the days with the names of planets and the moon. However, it's important to note that while the moon is an astronomical body orbiting Earth as its natural satellite, it is not classified as a planet. Please watch the video below to learn this engaging technique and make the process of memorizing the days of the week enjoyable for your students.

Song: Los días de la semana
This is a fun song that you can find on the Youtube Channel Planeta Infantil. It's a wonderful resource for teaching or practicing the days of the week in Spanish.

To make the learning experience more enjoyable and memorable, I have incorporated hand movements to accompany the song and aid in the memorization of the words for my students.

Song: Los meses del año
I find this song to be a fantastic tool for helping my students practice the months of the year in Spanish. To make the learning experience even more enjoyable and interactive, I incorporate hand movements that correspond to each month. For a visual demonstration, I encourage you to watch the video below this one. It provides a great idea on how to sing the song while incorporating the hand movements. By combining music, movement, and language learning, we create a dynamic and engaging experience for our students.
