Learning the seven days of the week helps children talk about school days, holidays and family plans with confidence. These free printable worksheets give plenty of friendly practice in one small set. Children trace each day name neatly, fill in missing days, put the week in the correct order and match short clues like the day after Monday.

The pages move gently from tracing to writing, so beginners and more confident writers can both join in. Print them at home or in class, and use one page a day for calm, steady practice.

How to play

Download the free PDF and print the pages on A4 paper. One page a day works well.
Read the seven day names aloud together, pointing to each word from Sunday to Saturday.
Let your child trace the dotted words first, then write the missing days and complete the matching and ordering tasks.
Check the answers together and say the full week out loud, clapping once for each day.

While completing these worksheets, your child practises reading and spelling the seven day names, writing them with a capital letter, and remembering their correct order. Putting days in sequence builds early time vocabulary such as before, after, yesterday and tomorrow, which supports both maths and language learning. Tracing the long words also strengthens pencil control and letter formation. Many children find it easier when the week is linked to real life, so talk about school days, weekend days and family routines as you work. Repeating the pages over a few weeks turns new words into comfortable, everyday reading.

Frequently asked questions

What age are these days of the week worksheets for?

They suit most children aged five to six, or any child who is starting to read and write longer words. Younger children can simply trace the words and say them aloud, while older children can complete the writing and ordering pages on their own.

Why do day names start with a capital letter?

Day names are proper nouns in English, like names of people and months, so they always begin with a capital letter. The worksheets model this in every dotted word, which helps children build the habit naturally while they trace and write.

How can I help my child remember the order of the week?

Sing the days to a simple tune, point to a wall calendar each morning, and ask questions such as what day comes after Wednesday. Short daily practice of two or three minutes works better than one long session.

Are these worksheets free to print and use in class?

Yes. The pages are free to download and print for home or classroom use. Teachers can print one set per child, and parents can print the same page again whenever extra handwriting or spelling practice is needed.
