Teaching Days of the Week with a Song

The days of the week are a pretty straight-forward concept for my students.  I love presenting the new vocabulary and asking them to notice two major differences: starting on Monday instead of Sunday and no capitalization.

I also like to play a YouTube video that I came across a few years ago.  The teacher sings the days to two different tunes: Pop Goes the Weasel and The Addams Family theme song.  The video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJURmxbRwz4

I came across a rap that did go through all seven days in exact order and thought it would be fun to assign each kid a day and they would have to stand when they heard their day.  Unfortunately, my students had a really hard time hearing the words.  Here is the link in case you're interested in trying it out with your classes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nyuTTn6hVM

The students are also asked to respond to the prompts "Mi día favorito es" and "No me gusta."
