Head into the robot factory and help construct a one-of-a-kind creation! In this interactive digital game, students will answer questions about the days of the week to unlock new robot parts and bring their build to life.

Each correct answer helps students practise sequencing days in order—deciding what comes before or after a given day. As they work through the questions, they’ll improve their understanding of time vocabulary while staying motivated by their robot's evolving design.

Let’s Build – Sequencing Days of the Week is perfect for whole-class play on an interactive whiteboard or for individual students using the QR code. It fits beautifully into early years literacy rotations, morning warm-ups, or calendar-focused mini lessons.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify the correct sequence of days in a week
• ✅ Determine what comes before or after a given day
• ✅ Strengthen time vocabulary and calendar knowledge
• ✅ Develop pattern recognition and logical thinking
• ✅ Engage with time concepts through interactive play

How to Play:

1. Students are shown a day of the week and asked to identify the day that comes before or after it.
2. Each correct answer earns a new part for their robot.
3. The robot is built piece by piece with every correct response.
4. The game continues until all robot parts are earned.
5. At the end, students see their completed robot in a fun celebration scene!

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during early years calendar or time units to reinforce the order of days
• 💡 Add to literacy rotations to support sequencing and vocabulary building
• 💡 Great for Foundation to Year 2 students consolidating early time concepts
• 💡 Pair with a physical days-of-the-week cut-and-order task for follow-up

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six characters before the game begins
• 💛 Select the number of players or teams at the start of the game to suit individual, paired, or group play
• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to play as a homework or revision task

Let’s Build – Sequencing Days of the Week helps students master calendar sequencing while having fun constructing their own unique robot creation!
