Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

I suspect "gay" in the last line was used in the sense of good-natured and fun-loving as opposed to its current meaning.

I assume you are trying to teach your children the days of the week. I teach kindergarten, and the way we learn the days of the week is by singing the following song. It is to the tune of "The Addams Family"

Days of the week (snap, snap)
Days of the week (snap, snap)
Days of the week, days of the week, days of the week (snap, snap)
There's Sunday and there's Monday. There's Tuesday and there's Wednesday. There's Thursday and there's Friday. There's even Saturday.

Usually we repeat this song, and then I ask them what is the first day of the week, first day of the school week, last day of the week, etc. I hope this helps if you are trying to teach the days of the week. The children will really love this, and learning something to a tune will more than likely help them remember it.
