Days of the Week Worksheets
This printable set helps children learn the seven days of the week through three different actions: cutting and ordering, copying, and tracing. Each worksheet keeps the instructions short and gives learners a clear task they can complete independently or with light adult support.
The activities work well as a small learning sequence: begin with the hands-on ordering task, move on to tracing each word, then ask children to copy the names without tracing over the letters.
What children learn
Children become familiar with the spelling and order of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The three formats also practise sequencing, visual recognition, pencil control and independent handwriting.
Because every worksheet focuses on the same seven words, teachers and parents can repeat the vocabulary without repeating exactly the same task.
1. Free cut-and-paste worksheet
The seven days are printed in a mixed order on separate strips. Children cut along the dotted lines, put the words in the correct sequence and glue them into a notebook or onto another sheet.
- Builds understanding of weekly order
- Combines literacy with a simple fine-motor task
- Black-and-white design for economical printing
- Suitable for classroom centres or home learning

Premium handwriting worksheets
These two follow-up pages give children more structured writing practice. One offers dotted letter forms to trace, while the other shows each day as a model and leaves ruled space for independent copying.
Dotted tracing
Children trace all seven day names on handwriting guidelines. This is the more supportive version and works especially well for learners who are still developing letter formation and pencil control.
Copy next to the model
Each day appears as a light model on the left, with ruled writing space on the right. Children read the model and reproduce the complete word themselves.
Recommended level
Best fit: Pre-K, Kindergarten and Grade 1, or beginner English learners who are working on early reading and handwriting. The cut-and-paste activity can also be used with children who recognise the words but are not yet ready to write them independently.
