About the Song

The MeloMelo 12 Months Song introduces all twelve months in order, from January through December, using clear pronunciation and strong rhythm. Children first chant the months slowly, then repeat them faster, which naturally builds fluency and memory. The repetitive pattern makes it easy for young learners to sing along, even if they are new to English, and the upbeat style keeps circle time or calendar time lively.


What’s Included

  • 12 months vocabulary focus: January to December in order, with lots of repetition and rhythm practice.
  • Months writing worksheet: learners copy and write the month names on guided lines, supported by cute MeloMelo character images.
  • Spelling “Word Hunt” page: students find correctly spelled month words and mark an ✗ on the incorrect spellings, strengthening visual recognition.
  • Months-in-order activity: a sequencing task where children fill in blanks to show the correct order of all twelve months.
  • “My Favorite Month” writing & drawing page: space for learners to draw a picture and write 2–3 simple sentences about why they like that month, with a helpful model sentence at the top.
  • Easy 12×12 word search: students hunt for all the month names in a smaller grid, ideal for younger learners.
  • Hard 20×20 word search: a challenge version where months can appear in many directions, great for older or fast-finisher students.
  • Answer keys for both word searches: quick-check solution pages to save teacher time.
  • QR codes on each worksheet: learners and parents can scan to instantly open the song video, making it easy to review at home.
