Daily Calendar Practice Sheets for Preschool and Elementary – Free Printables!
Welcome friends! For today’s free printable download, I’m excited to share these Calendar Practice Worksheets. Keep reading to learn more about what’s included in this pack and how we use this in our homeschool routine!
Why is Calendar Practice Important?
When I was homeschooling my oldest, teaching the months of the year and days of the week seemed simple – so simple that I wasn’t as consistent as I should have been. When I later realized that he still wasn’t fully comfortable with the months and days, I created these calendar practice sheets for reinforcement. While it might seem like a given that children should know the days of the week and months of the year, there are also important skills a child can learn from this besides just memorizing the names. Understanding a calendar can also support with:
- Understanding the Concept of Time: Helps children understand how time is organized and how it flows.
- Planning Ahead: Teaches children to think ahead, anticipate future events and make plans.
- Time Management: Helps children manage their time, set goals, and meet deadlines.
- Fostering a Habit of Routine: Teaches children to establish routines, improving organizational skills.
This activity was created to help your little learners master skills like:
- Learning days of the week
- Learning months of the year
- Counting from 1 to 31
- Writing the date
- Observing the weather

Tips for Maximizing Learning
- Make it fun!: Daily repetition can get monotonous, so keep it fun with stickers, stamps, different colors, and by turning it into a game.
- Involve the whole family: Do this together with a parent or other children – it can also be a great opportunity for older kids to teach younger kids!
- Consistency is Key: Daily practice is important to reinforce the concepts and create a strong foundation.
