							| You didn �t mention how old or what level your students are...I teach dates and years to my students when they are still fairly young (10 yrs old) and I usually use their birthday as a starting point. Most of them love telling when their birthday is and in which year they were born. There are a lot of great sheets on the subject on the site. |  29 Mar 2011

							| Hi Emanuel 
 I use the ATONIN Pyramid, which basically teaches prepositions to use for dates, months, years, etc...  I demonstrate below,which I hope you find it useful  Regards, Sagales. 
 
The AT-ON-IN Time Pyramid The ATONIN Time Pyramid can help people remember which preposition � at, on or in � to use with hours, days, months, years, etc. An easy way to remember which preposition to use with hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, ages. Do you have a difficult time remembering which preposition to use with hours, days, months, years, etc? Imagine a pyramid divided horizontally into 3 groups. |  29 Mar 2011
