Free November Calendar Worksheet

Learning to read a calendar takes practice. Children need opportunities to find individual dates, move forward and backward through a week, and understand how days fit together to make a month.

This printable includes a November practice calendar and questions for your child to answer using the calendar shown. An answer key is included so you can check the work together.

The calendar is not tied to a particular year, so you can use the worksheet again with younger siblings or revisit it for extra practice. Its arrangement of dates may differ from the current year’s calendar.

I created this worksheet for 2nd and 3rd graders, but you can use it with a younger child who is ready for calendar questions or an older child who needs a little review.

Ideas for Using the November Calendar Worksheet

It is pretty rare that I hand my child a worksheet and tell him to get started. We always go through the directions together, I mention in trouble spots, and he gives it a once-over. So before your child begins, take a minute to look over the calendar together. Find the month’s name, read the days of the week, and locate the first and last dates.

Encourage your child to write the full names of days and months when answering questions. This gives you a natural opportunity to review spelling and capital letters alongside the calendar work.

Choose one or two of the following ideas if your child would benefit from a little more practice.

Math Learning Ideas

Practice writing dates in different ways. November is the eleventh month, so we use 11 for the month when writing a numeric date. Show your child how these two dates mean the same thing:

• November 12, 2026
• 11/12/2026

Try a few more November dates together, using the year you are studying.

Compare November and October. November has 30 days, while October has 31. How many fewer days does November have? Which month comes before November? Which comes after it?

Do you know the poem “Thirty Days Hath September”? If not, this would be a great time to learn it and then recite it together!

Look for weekly patterns. Choose a date near the beginning of the calendar and find the date one week later. Continue down that column, adding seven each time. Notice that the dates change, but the day of the week stays the same.

Use calendar words aloud. Ask your child to find the day before or the day after a date you choose. Then try finding a date one week earlier or one week later.

This is also the perfect opportunity to practice skip counting by 7 since there are 7 days in a week.

Phonics and Spelling Learning Ideas

The word November offers several opportunities to review familiar spelling and phonics concepts.

• Count the syllables. Say November slowly and tap its three syllables: No-vem-ber.
• Find the short e sound. Listen for the short e in the middle syllable. Think of other words with that sound, such as nest, red, and ten.
  Brainstorm those words aloud and then write them on the white board. It’s helpful to see written word patterns.
• Notice the ending -er. November ends with the /er/ sound. Compare it with September and October, and then think ahead to December.
• Practice the abbreviation. Write November beside Nov. Point out the capital N and the period in the abbreviation.
• Review the days of the week. Find the spelling pattern “day” in each name. Practice writing the names with capital letters.

There is no need to cover every idea at once. Choose the ones that fit what your child is learning right now, or one or two that need practice.
