Learn the days of the week and colours all in one joyful song! Jack and Sophie make learning these essential concepts wonderfully fun for young children aged 2–7.
About This Video
Jack and Sophie wake up to a different coloured day every day of the week — Monday is red, Tuesday is yellow, Wednesday is green, Thursday is blue, Friday is orange, Saturday is purple, Sunday is white and full of morning light. Each day of the week gets its own colour, its own activity and its own singalong verse that names the day, its colour and what Jack and Sophie love doing on that particular day. By the end of the week, children know all seven days in sequence and can pair each one with a colour and an activity.
Perfect for children aged 2 to 7 learning the days of the week. After watching, hang a simple week chart — one colour strip for each day so children can see which day today is and which comes next. Calendar literacy is one of the most practical daily life skills for young children. Free.

Parents' Questions
What are the seven days of the week and how does this song help children remember them in order?
This song teaches all seven days — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday — through a weekly colour and activity system that gives each day a distinct identity. Monday is red (the bright energetic start of the week, Jack's gymnastics day). Tuesday is yellow (sunshine and art with paints). Wednesday is green (the middle of the week, nature walk day). Thursday is blue (library books and reading). Friday is orange (the happiest day, school friends and games). Saturday is purple (the adventure day, a trip somewhere new). Sunday is white (rest, family breakfast, the peaceful end). The colour association creates a mnemonic hook that makes the sequence easier to retrieve.
Why is learning the days of the week important for young children's daily life skills?
Days of the week knowledge gives children a basic temporal framework for organising experience — understanding that events happen in a reliable, predictable sequence. 'It is Wednesday, so tomorrow is Thursday which is swimming day. The day after that is Friday which is when we see Grandma.' This predictive daily temporal reasoning, built from knowing the week's sequence, is one of the most practical daily thinking skills a child can develop before school age. It also builds the concept that time has structure — an essential foundation for calendars, timetables, routines and long-term planning.
What age is the Days of the Week and Colours song designed for?
Designed for children aged 2 to 7. Two to three year olds are hearing day names in context for the first time. Children aged 3 to 5 begin reliably sequencing all seven days and knowing which day follows which. Children aged 5 to 7 use the day sequence to reason about near-future events: 'If today is Wednesday, how many days until Saturday's adventure?' Make a simple week chart with seven coloured squares matching the song's colour code and point to today's colour every morning — the daily habit embeds calendar literacy faster than any other single approach.
