Payday is a good board game for teaching days of the week

If you have at least 7 students, print out the names of the days of the week and cut them into strips. Hand out the strips face down, and say, "Go!" Students line up in order. If you have two groups, they can race to get in order. If you have fewer than 7 students, just have them arrange the strips on their desk.

You can also have them say the names and time them. See who can say the names of the week the fastest. You can do it as a team activity also. Keep time for each member of the team and total it. Let other teams challenge them for class championship.

One more thing you can do is have a Spelling Bee. Two teams. The only words asked are the days of the week.

Another is to give the Korean name and let two students compete to give the English, or vice versa.

You can use the same activities for the months of the year.

Once they get the names down, you can also use them to teach 'the day before yesterday', 'the day after tomorrow', 'a week from tomorrow', 'three days ago', etc. (as well as past and future verb forms)
