December Calendar Worksheet
This series of monthly calendar worksheets focus on understanding the time relationship of days within the week, the month, and within the year.
Students are provided with a generic monthly calendar at the top of the worksheet, and then provided with questions pertaining to the calendar.
The calendars are intentionally not dated so you can use these worksheets year after year.
While they can certainly be used with any age or stage as you see appropriate, I created them for 2nd and 3rd graders.
Ideas for Using the December Calendar Worksheet
Encourage your child to write out the full day of the week or month of the year to practice spelling and capitalization. It is certainly a great opportunity to talk about day and month abbreviations, so do not miss that chance!
For example, teach that the date of December 15, 2025 can be written at least two different ways:
- December 15, 2025
- 12-15-2025
Then take some time to practice!
You could encourage looking for patterns with skip counting by 7s as you count from week to week.
Of course you can always incorporate a phonics lesson with the name of ‘May’ or any of the days of the week.
- Take note of the soft c in the word December. Remind your children that a c is soft after the letters e, i, and y. Brainstorm several other words that have a soft c.
- December starts with the /d/ sound. Brainstorm a few words that begin with /d/ then a few words that end with /d/. Say several words aloud and have your child tell you whether the words ends or begins with the /d/ sounds.
For example: stand (end), deer (beginning), dot (beginning), bed (end) - Determine which days of the week have short vowel sounds.
- Count the number of syllables in December, and then each day of the week.
- Mention the vowel team AY and point it out in each day of the week.
Look for every opportunity with your young ones to add to their frames of reference and reinforce skills that need extra attention.

Thank you so much for sharing these monthly calendars! They are finally helping my son understand how the days/weeks/years work. He has no concept of time…wish I could go back to that age! 🙂
So glad you can use them! 😉
These are great! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Another great find. Thanks so much!
Sure thing. I try to publish the next month’s calendar right at the end of the month. So look for January’s calendar around Dec 27 or 28.
Thank you so much for all your hard work. I am currently a first grade teacher, but plan to begin home schooling next year. Your website is a wonderful wonderful resource for both venues. I plan on getting a membership! You are fantastic! Have you had a chance to update your December calendar activity for 2013? Isn’t the calendar from 2012? Thanks! Beth
Hi Beth, it IS the calendar from 2012. I haven’t been able to fit in those calendar printables for the last several months – eek! Hopefully I can start them back in January. 😉
Thank you for your kind words! And I appreciate you stopping by today 🙂
