The Knuckle Method for
Remembering Days in Each Month

Want an easy way to remember how many days are in each month? Try the knuckle method!

Make a fist with either hand
Starting with your first knuckle as January, count the knuckles and valleys between them
Knuckles = 31 days
Valleys between knuckles = 30 days (except February)
When you reach the last knuckle (July), start over at the first knuckle (August)

Following the knuckles:

January (knuckle) = 31 days
February (valley) = 28/29 days
March (knuckle) = 31 days
April (valley) = 30 days
May (knuckle) = 31 days
June (valley) = 30 days
July (knuckle) = 31 days
August (back to first knuckle) = 31 days
September (valley) = 30 days
October (knuckle) = 31 days
November (valley) = 30 days
December (knuckle) = 31 days
