1. Have a time line showing the twenty-four hours in a day. Mark it off in minutes. Make a dark and a light strip of paper to go under the time line. Change it each day as the time for sunrise and sunset changes. Use it especially when changing to daylight savings time.
2. Read stories and poetry about days of the week. (Examples: Joe Lasker's Lentil Soup, Virginia Ormsby's Twenty-One Children, or Elizabeth Braum's Saturday Morning Lasts Forever.)
3. Fasten names of days of the week on the backs of students without telling them what is on their labels. Have the rest of the class arrange the children in proper order. The group of seven must guess "what" they are.
4. Make trail games about the days of the week.
5. Keep a record of activities for one day.
6. Compare and contrast different days of the week.
7. Consult a telephone directory for a map showing time zones. Talk about how this map helps people know good times to make calls.
8. Make charts picturing relationships of other time words related to the "day." (Yesterday, today, tomorrow, dawn, morning, noon, evening, tonight, night, midnight, holiday.)
9. Do research to learn the source of the names of the days of the week. (Example: Woden's day = Wednesday. Woden was a Norse god of Storms.)
10. Make finger puppets using the names of the days of the week. Use the puppets to talk about the various days.
11. Make a list of things to do during the period of one day. On the next day check to see how many of the tasks were completed.
12. Plan a special trip or experience which will last one day. Participate in the experience.
13. Examine the use of the word day for a period of one day. Have children report what they have heard others say. The word may be used to refer to a twenty-four hour period or as a label for a particular time in a week.
