A Year Apart

Mathematics/Social Studies

Children will show the order of the months of the year by assembling a puzzle using visual clues about the months.

What You Need

What to Do

  1. With the class, recite the months of the year as children follow along on the A Year Apart Puzzle sheet. Talk about why the picture for each month represents that month.

  2. Have children color the A Year Apart Puzzle.

  3. Have children cut apart the puzzle on the lines and then mix up all the pieces.

  4. Pass out the A Year Apart Frame sheet and the glue. Have the children reassemble the puzzle using the visual clues.

Teaching Options

  • Have children choose a month and create their own puzzle using more pictures and words, if they are able. Have them cut up and have another child reassemble it.
