7 Games, songs and fairy tales in English about the days of the week (flash)

The origin of the names of the days of the week in English

In Latin, Romance and Germanic languages, the origin of the designations of the days of the week is associated with the names of the celestial bodies of the solar system: the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the Sun (in turn, named after the Roman gods). Monday was proclaimed the Day of the Moon, Tuesday the Day of Mars, and so on. In modern Italian, Spanish and French the names of the first five planets have been preserved as the names of the days of the week. In English, only Monday ( Monday), Saturday ( Saturday) and Sunday ( Sunday) have names equivalent to Latin ones. The remaining days in English also bear the names of the planets, but have already received names in honor of the gods of Scandinavian mythology: Tuesday ( Tuesday) is named after Tiu (Tiw), Wednesday ( Wednesday) in honor of Woden, Thursday ( Thursday) - in honor of Thor (Thor), and Friday ( Friday) - in honor of Freya (Freya).

Not in English special word to denote the concept expressed by the Russian word day; the corresponding concept can be expressed in English in a descriptive way, as day and night or twenty-four hours.
The same span of twenty-four hours is divided differently in English and Russian. English speakers divide this period into three parts: morning(from 0 to 12 noon), afternoon(from noon to about 18 hours, that is, until sunset) and evening(from sunset to midnight, after which it comes again morning). As for the words day and night, then they denote a different division of the day, not into three, but into two parts: light ( day) and dark ( night). In addition, the word day used in the same way as abbreviation day and night, that is, in the meaning of the Russian day.
In Russian, the picture is different - the day is divided into four parts, namely: morning (from sunrise to about 10 or 11 hours), afternoon (from 10 or 11 hours to sunset), evening (from sunset to about 10 or 11 hours) and night (between evening and morning, that is, the time when people sleep).

But each of the seven days was so occupied, the year around, that they had no time to spare.
But each one counted, they were so busy all year round that they couldn't do it.
They wanted a whole extra day; but then they had that every four years,
They had to wait an extra day, and this is only issued once every four years.

Our website continues to publish various interesting methods of development and learning for children. Today there will be a description of how easier it is to remember the days of the week in English for a baby?

The first thing to do is to take a calendar, open all the days of the week in pictures, read them and understand what exactly the days of the week are associated with? The baby or you. In my version, these associations look like this.

In the stationery store we buy the most ordinary notebook for a small number of sheets, in my cage. Here we will paste all the pictures and write the words.

Monday- It is Monday. If you type on the Internet, then everyone explains that there is a word moon - the moon, in the word Monday one letter “o” disappears, nevertheless this is the day of the moon. You can take a photo of the moon, but when I pronounce this word, it evokes the image of a baby who does not want to eat semolina porridge. We write through the letter "o", and we read "Munday". This moment is marked with a marker.

Tuesday- It's Tuesday. On Tuesday we play cards. Tuesday, you hear the ace that is in playing cards. In the photo you can show a game of cards, cards or an ace card, as you like.

Wednesday- Wednesday. The letter "d" is written, but not read - this must be remembered. Wednesday - Ben goes to the doctor, for example, to donate blood from veins s.

Thursday- Thursday. The combination th is an interdental sign, we read sho (o) zdey. On Thursday we look at the stars.

Friday– Friday. All the children are looking forward to this day, because there are 2 days off ahead. Working people on the 5/2 system are also waiting for him, which means that on Friday we go to heaven - Friday.

In the children's performance, everyone said thatfri - this is french fries, I said then, so that they remember that on this day they are given french fries for free. You can find a picture depicting walking, relaxing, listening to music.

Saturday- Saturday. When writing, it is clear that the word is similar to the word satire, but children, even at the age of 12, do not understand and do not associate it with this word. Setadey - set - a game in tennis. On Saturday we play tennis, go in for sports.

Sunday- Sunday. Sun means the sun. Sunny day is Sunday.

Many children begin to argue and say that it is raining or snowing outside the window.

We find suitable pictures on the Internet, clippings from magazines, or let children draw. We take a small notebook, I have 24 sheets, you can cut the drawing album so that the sheet is white (without a ruler and a cage). We apply glue and glue the photo. We write days with colored felt-tip pens.

On the left side, it is better to write the prepositions with which the days of the week are used. In this case, it is "on". On Monday - on Monday.

Below are ordinal numbers and a sentence about a given day of the week.

On Monday we open the notebook on Monday, on Tuesday on Tuesday, we call the day, we spell it several times. And so, through the visual range, a baby and even an adult can easily learn the days of the week.

You can put the notebook in a transparent file for documents and hang it on front door(kitchen door). Change the days of the week according to the days. And your baby will gradually remember all the days of the week.

And another funny old poem about the days of the week I WENT TO TOWN (I went to the city somehow) with a gorgeous translation into Russian, made by a military pilot, journalist, writer, poet and physicist Viktor Petrov.

Sunday in church
I went to the priest.
City people seem to
Wanted the same too.

On Monday, here it is:
I went to buy a coat
Suddenly - camels! Here's the deal!
I bought myself a goat.

Tuesday. City. No money.
Got myself a vest.
But why!? left plaques,
Two pockets and two buckles.

On Wednesday I went to the city
Behind the leg on the table.
There's a fire! You, mister, nevermind!
And the pig is dancing a jig.

Here on Thursday I am early in the morning
In town. Bread would be a loaf!
The city took the Green Serpent -
The baker is drunker than the baker!

Friday. thought up for the future
Eat pumpkin pie.
But I rub against the apple tree! ..
And I had to eat charlotte.

I won't hesitate to tell:
Somehow I went on a Saturday
Not to the cinema, not to work,
I went to choose my wife...
I squint here and there.
O! Beautiful madam!
I turned around - my God!
I rushed headlong home.
