Did you enjoy learning about the months? There are so many fun things to learn! Keep exploring and have fun!

  1. Can you think of a special month for you or your family? What makes it special, and how do you celebrate it?
  2. If you could choose any month to have your birthday, which one would it be and why? What fun things would you like to do during that month?
  3. Do you know anyone who has a birthday in the same month as you? How do you like to celebrate birthdays with your friends or family?
  1. Birthday Calendar Craft: Create a birthday calendar with your family! Use a large piece of paper and draw a big circle to represent a year. Divide the circle into 12 sections, one for each month. Write the name of each month in its section. Ask your family members when their birthdays are and write their names in the correct month. Decorate each section with drawings or stickers that remind you of that person or the month. This will help you remember the months and whose birthday is when!

  2. Month Matching Game: Make a set of cards with the names of the months on them. On another set of cards, draw pictures or write short descriptions of events or holidays that happen in each month (like snow for January or a pumpkin for October). Mix up the cards and try to match each month with the correct event or holiday. You can play this game with a friend or family member and see who can make the most matches!

  3. Weather Watch: Choose a month and keep a weather diary for a week. Each day, draw a picture of what the weather looks like outside and write a few words about it (like sunny, rainy, or snowy). At the end of the week, look at your drawings and talk about how the weather changes during that month. Does it remind you of any special activities or holidays? Share your weather diary with your class or family!
