📅 See You On Saturday! — Days Of The Week & Weekends

Last time you talked about your day. Today you will learn the days of the week, say when you do things (on Saturday, from Monday to Friday, on the weekend) and talk about your weekend activities: "What are you doing on the weekend?"

🎬 Let's Imagine...

Friday Afternoon At School

Read the little scene below.

NoraFinally, it's Friday! What are you doing on the weekend, Leo?
LeoOn Saturday, I play basketball with my cousins. On Sunday, I visit my grandparents. How about you?
NoraI help my mom at home and I ride my bike. Have a nice weekend!
🧑‍🏫 Teacher SamiDid you see? on Saturday, on Sunday, on the weekend — we use on with days. And on Friday afternoon, we say "Have a nice weekend!" Let's learn the whole week.

🤔 What do you do on Saturday?

Vendredi après-midi devant une école tunisienne aux portes bleues : les élèves se disent au revoir, un calendrier au mur entoure le week-end
👋 "Have a nice weekend!" — "You too! See you on Monday!"
Step 1

📅 The Days Of The Week

Click a day to hear it. In English, the days always start with a capital letter: Monday, not monday.

⚡

Careful with the spelling! Wed-nes-day (we say "WENZ-day"), Thursday with th, and Saturday. The weekend = Saturday + Sunday.

🚂 The Day Train

Which day comes before or after? Choose the right wagon — 8 rounds!

Step 2

🗓️ On Saturday, From Monday To Friday

Prepositions tell us when: one day, a group of days, or the weekend.

📌 One day → on

  • "On Saturday, I sleep late."
  • "I play tennis on Wednesday."
  • "What are you doing on Sunday?"

↔️ Many days → from… to…

  • "I go to school from Monday to Friday."
  • "Dad works from Monday to Friday."

🇺🇸 🇬🇧 The weekend

  • American English: "on the weekend" / "on weekends"
  • British English: "at the weekend"

👋 Friday afternoon

  • "Have a nice weekend!"
  • "Thanks, you too! See you on Monday!"

🗒️ My Week Planner

Step 3

🚲 Weekend Activities

Click a card to hear it. What do you like doing on the weekend?

💡

Teacher Sami's tip: the internet is great, but the weekend is also for your family, your friends and a little sport. "On Sunday, I visit my grandparents" is a beautiful sentence!
