Months of the Year


Welcome to the wonderful world of time measurement! The most exciting part of learning about time is understanding the months of the year. Did you know that a year is made up of 12 months? Each month has its own name and each month represents a unique part of the year. We will explore all 12 months, see fun examples, and learn what each month represents.

What month is it?

The month is a way of measuring time that divides the year into smaller parts. Think of the year as a big pie. Each month is like a slice of that pie. Some pieces are bigger, and some are a little smaller. Humans have created these divisions to help organize time. Let's see how it works!

12 months of the year

Here is a list of all 12 months of the year from start to end:

  1. January
  2. February
  3. March
  4. April
  5. May
  6. June
  7. July
  8. August
  9. September
  10. October
  11. November
  12. December

Months and days

Did you know that not all months have the same number of days? Some months have 31 days, some have 30 days, and there is even one particular month that usually has only 28 days! Let’s explore this in a little more detail.

Months with 31 days

The months having 31 days are:

  • January
  • March
  • May
  • July
  • August
  • October
  • December

Here's a fun way to remember them:

January, March, May, July—31 days to the sky.
August, October, December too—31 days through and through.

30 day months

The months having 30 days are:

  • April
  • June
  • September
  • November

We can remember them as follows:

April, June, September, November—all 30 and no more remember!

February is a special month

February is a special month because it has 28 days most of the time, but every four years it has 29 days! The year when February has 29 days is called a "leap year." Isn't that interesting? It moves the month forward by an extra day.

February 28 or 29 days

Understanding weeks in months

Most months have about 4 weeks. A week is made up of 7 days. When we add the days together, we create weeks. Here's a quick calculation:

4 weeks x 7 days/week = 28 days

But since some months have 30 or 31 days, they have some extra days after the fourth week.

Seasons and months

As we move through the months, the weather changes, and we experience different seasons in most parts of the world. There are four seasons:

  • Spring
  • Summer
  • Autumn (or Fall)
  • Winter

Now we can see which months belong to which season:

Spring

March, April and May are the months of spring. This is the season when flowers bloom and the weather is warm.

Spring

Summer

June, July and August are the summer months. This is the hottest time of the year, with lots of sunshine and fun.

Summer

Autumn (or Fall)

September, October and November are the autumn months. The leaves change color and the air gets cooler.

Autumn

Winter

December, January and February are the winter months. This is the coldest time of the year and it even snows in some places!

Winter

Fun with months of learning

There are many fun ways to learn about the months of the year. You can make up songs, poems, create a calendar, or just count the number of days in each month on your fingers!

Using fingers to remember the days of the month

Try this: close your fists and start counting the numbers on your fingers and slots, like January, February, March, etc. The fingers are the months with 31 days, and the slots are the months with 30 days, except for February!

Making a song of the month

You can make up a simple song by singing the names of the months to the tune of a song you know. For example, you could try the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

Wrapping up

Learning about the months is a fun and exciting journey because it helps us keep track of time, plan activities, and better understand the year. We explored each of the 12 months, how they are divided in terms of days, and how the seasons align with them. Now, you're on your way to becoming a time measurement expert!

Remember, practice makes perfect. Keep using the months regularly, and soon you'll be able to tell the time of year without even thinking!
