Some people like to go to parks, watch movies, or have a nice family meal together. On Sundays, many families enjoy breakfast together, sometimes making pancakes or waffles as a treat. It’s also a popular day for visiting relatives or having a barbecue in the backyard. Autoplay GIF

Why Do We Have Seven Days?

A long time ago, people noticed that the moon changes shape in a cycle that lasts about 28 days. They divided this time into four weeks, each with seven days. This system has been used for thousands of years! The idea of a seven-day week comes from ancient civilizations like the Babylonians, who observed the seven celestial bodies visible to the naked eye: the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. Each day was named after one of these celestial bodies, a tradition that has continued in different forms around the world.

Fun Facts About the Days of the Week

Sunday is named after the Sun. In many languages, it reflects the idea of the Sun’s day.
Monday comes from the Moon, making it a day connected to lunar cycles.
Tuesday is named after a Norse god called Tyr, associated with war and justice.
Wednesday is named after Odin, another Norse god, known for wisdom and magic.
Thursday is named after Thor, the god of thunder, famous for his mighty hammer.
Friday is named after Frigg, the goddess of love and beauty, often linked to Venus.
Saturday is named after Saturn, a Roman god of agriculture and time.

Make a Days of the Week Calendar

Here’s a fun activity: make your own calendar! Get some paper and draw a big rectangle. Divide it into seven boxes and write the name of each day in a box. Decorate each box with drawings or stickers that show what you like to do on that day. Hang it up in your room to help you keep track of the days!

Here’s how to get started:
1. Gather your materials: You’ll need paper, markers, crayons, stickers, and anything else you like to use for decorating.
2. Draw the boxes: Divide the paper into seven equal boxes and label each one with a day of the week.
3. Decorate: Think about what each day means to you. Draw pictures that represent your favorite activities for each day. For example, you could draw a soccer ball on Tuesday if you have soccer practice or a book on Wednesday if you have a library day.
4. Hang it up: Place your calendar where you can see it every day. This will help you keep track of what’s coming up and remind you of the fun things you have planned.
