Remembering the
Lengths of Each Month
1
With a Rhyme
Instead of memorizing the lengths of all twelve months, you might find it
easier to memorize just the four months that have only 30 days. You'd then
know automatically that all the other months--except for February--have
31 days.
Here are the first two lines of an old rhyme to help you remember the months that have only 30 days.
Thirty days hath September, April, June and November.
2 With Your Knuckles Another way to remember the number of days in each month is by reciting the months of the year while counting your knuckles. Each mountain (the tall part of the knuckle) is 31 days, and each valley between the mountains is 30 days (except of course for February which is 28 or 29 days).
See the diagram below to see how it works. Notice that consecutive months July & August are right next to each other on mountain knuckles, so each would have 31 days.
On the diagram, the orange circles are on the mountain knuckles (31 days), and the white circles are on the valley knuckles (30 or fewer days).
