To aid your child master the days of the week and months, use a calendar. Review them in chronological order then
mix them up. This will ensure that he/she knows them truly and is not just reciting them in order.
Use a real clock to help your child learn to tell time in French. Change the hands and ask, il est quelle heure ?
Start with easy times then progress to more difficult ones.
*REMEMBER THAT EUROPEAN COUNTRIES USE THE 24 HOUR CLOCK* AKA MILITARY TIME.
