Here is a link to an old book by the same publisher for a similar unit/lesson !
It was previously taught in 5th grade so some of the content may need to be changed.. but some of the games may be useful

http://waygook.org/index.php?topic=32034

wooops... the above link is for a 5th grade lesson "when is your birthday"

and this link is for a 6th grade lesson called "when is your birthday"

The swap game is edited from a thread from the old book - thank you to the original poster.

Here is an introduction ppt i made and a video that goes with this lesson ! (the link is on one of the first slides of the ppt)

the intro ppt is more suited for a later period.. maybe 4 or 5 !

Here's a PPT with a quick overview of the etymological origins of English/Roman months. Hooray for Paganism!

I also added a tongue twister to warm up with.

Pretty good, although my Classical studies minor bristles at Julius Caesar being called a Roman "emperor."

I'll probably use it for 4th or 5th period, maybe adding something to explain why the ninth month has a meaning of seven, etc. Thanks.

Word shark game. It's like hangman.

Make sure to write down the words for personal reference before you start the game.
Also a blazing pens game adapted from another lesson.

Very similar to last years "what is today's date?" so I played this with them... uses vocab from the 1st period.

I stuck the sentences all around the classroom. 1 student from each team had to go find a sentence, unscramble it, and then go back to the group and repeat it to the 'writer'. Then the next person in the group went off and so on...

My coteacher asked me to make a ppt of the cultural history of the names of the months after she saw my ppt regarding the cultural history of the names of the week (available here if you're interested: http://www.waygook.org/index.php/topic,71293.msg504515.html#msg504515 )
This power point is very basic, and includes zero images of naked Goddesses, which was actually hard, cause April's Aphrodite, May's Maia and June's Juno are usually naked, naked and naked. All my information and almost all my images are from Wikipedia, I am not an ancient civilizations scholar.

LISTENING, SPEAKING AND WRITING ACTIVITIES - Gets them to get up and move around too. My co-teacher suggested it:

Teachers give examples and check understanding.

LINE UP: In 2 teams, students talk to each other, only allowed to say 2 things: "when is your birthday" and the answer "January 22nd". You can add year if you want, but most will be the same year. You can check. As they do this they get in a straight line in order of birthday - Jan to Dec. First team that does it, wins. NOTE: Right way is asking each other questions and answering and finding their place. Wrong way is one student asking all and pushing them into the slot.

SHOOT OUT: Show a short clip of the old west shootouts. Line up in 2 teams. 2 people take 3 steps and turn around and show 0,1,2,3,4,5 or 6 fingers (2 hands). Whatever the number is, they write the number of the MONTH on the board. So one person has 1 finger and the other has 3 sticking out. The student who writes APRIL on the board the fastest is the winner.

The forum isn't accepting my edit... see above for the attachment, but here is a small edit for the SHOOTOUT:

The student who writes APRIL on the board the fastest is the winner and team gets a point. The team with the most points wins. NOTE: If both people put 0 fingers, they do it again--a bit like a tie in rock paper scissors. They go 1-2-3 and do it again.

I remember a game/PPT from last year in the old book. I t hink it was called Back to Back. Students are back to back, Teacher says ready set go- Students then turn and show 1, 2, 3, 4, ,5 fingers to their partner, add the numbers up and whoever says the correct month first wins. It worked really well and got the whole class involved. If they say it at the same time- just repeat
