This is an old camp song that's good for helping children learn the days of the week. And, yes, going forwards and backwards is actually good for the brain.
Write the days of the week paper plates as shown. Let children draw the foods in the song on the plates. Pass these out to seven children and let them stand in front of the room and hold up their plate at the appropriate time in the song.
Calendar Time
Every morning you can sing this song and insert specials for the day.
Today is day of the week.
Day of the week music (P.E., art, etc.)
All you lucky children, well, that's O.K."
My Favorite Foods
Fold two sheets of paper in half and staple to make a book. The children can write a different day on each page and then draw their favorite foods. (The teacher who shared this idea years ago said one little boy who was a picky eater drew macaroni and cheese on every page!)
