And they don't go back anymore.
In each flock of birds - seven,
You all know them! (Days of the week.)
twelve brothers
They roam one after another
But they don't overtake each other. (Months.)
Stretched bridge
For seven miles
And at the end of the bridge
Golden Mile. (A week.)
Come yearly
To visit us:
One gray
Another young
The third is jumping
And the fourth is crying. (Seasons.)

How to learn the names of the months with your child
A simple poem will help you remember the months:
January was walking through the snowdrifts, the king of all winter frosts!
February caught up with him - he lost his shawl from a blizzard.
March came running to change, rang out: "Spring, to the start!"
April sailed along the streams, he carried drops in his pocket.
May rustled the foliage: "Take off your warm jacket!"
Dandelion carried June. Do you want a miracle? Just blow!
And in July, and in July we rested on the sea!
August was buzzing with bees, but he was sitting in the forest like a mushroom.
In golden September, we forgot about the heat!
The wind blew in October: we will pick up yellow leaves!
November froze us, threw the first snow on the ground.
December is upon us, ending a long year!

We learned the names of the months and their order, now you can tell the child a secret how to determine / count the number of days in a month by cams :)
Don't forget to tell us about the leap year!
Thirty days always in September
April, June and November.
A day more in other months,
Only February does not want to catch up.
It has only twenty-eight days,
But in a leap year it is a day longer.
