French Days & Months Songs for Kids
The days of the week and the months of the year are lists, and lists are much easier to learn as songs. These French songs also ask “what day is it?” so kids practise using them.

Tips for parents
- Say today's day in French at breakfast; it's a two-second habit with daily repetition.
- Point at a calendar while the song plays and follow the days or months with a finger.
- Link days to routines: “on Saturday we go to the park”, using the French day name.
Questions parents ask
