Days & Seasons

What your child learns

• Saying the days of the week in order, from Monday to Sunday
• Working out tomorrow and yesterday, even across Sunday into Monday
• Telling school days from the weekend
• Knowing whether everyday things happen in the morning, at midday, in the afternoon or in the evening
• Recognizing spring, summer, fall and winter pictures, and picking clothes for hot, cold or rainy weather

How to play

1. Press "Play now", listen to the question and tap the right card, for example "Today is Monday. What day is it tomorrow?". On a computer, keys 1–3 work too.
2. For "Which day is missing?", look at the row of days and pick the one that fills the gap.
3. For times of day, look at the picture (and the sky outside the window), then pick morning, midday, afternoon or evening.
4. For dressing up, drag the right things onto the child, or tap an item and then tap the child. A wrong item gets locked and the game says what it is for.

For parents

• Each morning, ask "What day is it today? What day is tomorrow?" and look at a calendar together.
• In Vietnam the week is usually counted from Monday to Sunday, so the game lists the days that way in both languages.
• About the four seasons: northern Vietnam has spring, summer, fall and winter, while the south mostly has a rainy season and a dry season. The game shows typical pictures of the four seasons, and the dressing rounds are about the weather (hot, cold, rainy) rather than claiming every place has four seasons.
• Before going out, let your child look at the sky and choose: a hat for sun, a raincoat for rain, a scarf for cold.
• Questions only use things clearly tied to one time of day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, bedtime...), and never ask whether Saturday is a school day, since some schools have Saturday classes.
