Use a bright, child-friendly lesson theme with calendar icons, rainbow colours, and simple weekday symbols. Briefly welcome learners and point to the title: today they will learn, say, sing, and order the days of the week.
🎯 OBJECTIVE OF THE LESSON
By the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
✅ Identify the days of the week.
✅ Put the days in the correct order.
✅Sing along with a fun song.
Read each line aloud and have learners repeat key words with gestures: point to eyes for identify, hand to mouth for pronounce, line of fingers for order, and singing gesture for sing.
Introduction / Warm-up
Look at the class calendar.
Today we are learning the days of the week.
Clap and say.
What Day Is It?
Use the real class day first if possible. Then lead a quick movement chain: learners repeat each day with one action. Keep it fast and playful to prepare listening and speaking.
🎵 Sing the Week!
Listen first! 👂
How many days can you hear?
Song words:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, too!
Saturday, Sunday,
We can say them all!
Now sing with me! 🎤
Play the AI-generated song once for listening only. On the second play, invite learners to join in. This slide demonstrates CALL and AI use through music-based language practice.
Vocabulary:
📅 Meet the Days!
Monday 🌞
Tuesday 🎈
Wednesday ⭐
Thursday 📚
Friday 🎉
Saturday ⚽
Sunday 🌈
Show each day one by one with a matching simple visual or card. Point, say, and have the class repeat. Keep language minimal because this slide is for first recognition.
PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE:
🗣️ Say It Right!
MONDAY
TUESDAY
WEDNESDAY
THURSDAY
FRIDAY
SATURDAY
SUNDAY
Avoid phonetic symbols. Tap syllables with fingers for Wednesday and Thursday. Model clearly, then move from teacher voice to class repetition to more confident speaking.
INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES
🎮 It's time to play!
Use a bright, child-friendly lesson theme with calendar icons, rainbow colours, and simple weekday symbols. Briefly welcome learners and point to the title: today they will learn, say, sing, and order the days of the week.
Complete the week song
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, too!
Saturday, Sunday,
We can say them all!
Seven days, seven days,
Say them loud with me!
Seven days, seven days,
Easy as can be!
Correct answers are Monday, Friday, Sunday. This echoes the exact song pattern learners just heard and sang.
How many days are in a week?
Six
Seven
Eight
Five
This checks listening from the AI song and recognition from the vocabulary slide. Learners may confuse school days with week days, so 'five' is a useful distractor.
🎮 DIGITAL GAME: Put the days back in order
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
The blanks are Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. This anchors the full week order after the drag-and-drop and missing-day game.

How CALL, E-learning, or Blended Learning is applied?
Blended Learning 🔄
We used digital slides, teacher help, speaking, repetition, gestures, and movement.
Game-based learning 🎮
We played ordering and missing-day games to remember the week.
Digital learning
CALL 💻
We used technology and an AI-generated song to practise English.
E-learning 🌐
We learned with interactive digital activities in LessonUp.
Learning together
Keep the explanation very simple and brief. This slide makes the methodology visible by linking each approach to an activity learners have just done: AI song, LessonUp tasks, teacher-led repetition, and games.
Conclusion
The song “SEVEN DAYS” helps children learn English because it combines listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, repetition, and rhythm. In our case, it is designed for 7–8-year-olds at the A1 level, so it makes learning the days of the week fun and age-appropriate.
🔁 Replay the song and sing again.
Finish with a confident whole-class recital of the seven days in order. If time allows, replay a short section of the song for one final sing-along and celebration.
