FAQs

What does this months and dates worksheet cover?

This worksheet uses 23 multiple-choice questions to practise identifying months by sequence, spelling month names and ordinal numbers, and selecting correct date expressions for birthdays. Students also apply calendar vocabulary by identifying the day before Tuesday and the month that comes after April.

How can I use this worksheet to teach months, ordinal numbers, and dates?

Introduce the twelve months in order, then model how ordinal numbers such as thirteenth and twenty-first are used in dates. Before students complete the multiple-choice items, have them explain the clues in birthday sentences and use a calendar to check month order and the day before or after a given day.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this worksheet?

Students may confuse a month’s position with a nearby month, such as selecting June instead of April for the fourth month, or choose an incorrect spelling such as Agust for August. Watch for confusion between cardinal and ordinal forms, especially seventeenth versus seventh and twenty-first versus twenty-third, as well as incorrect date wording in the birthday items.
