About this resource
Description
Reading an analog clock takes plenty of practice, and a classroom hunt makes that practice feel like an adventure. This put the time in the coconut activity sends 2nd grade and 3rd grade students searching the room for twelve coconut clocks, reading each one to the nearest five minutes.
The pack has twelve lettered coconut cards, each with a clear clock face set inside a cracked-open coconut. Tape the cards around the room before the hunt. Children walk around, find a coconut, read its clock, and write the hour and the minutes next to that letter on the Coconut Hunt Recording Sheet. When all twelve coconuts are found, they check their times with the answer key. A 2nd grade practice worksheet follows with six clocks to read and three clocks where students draw the hands.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page
- 12 lettered coconut clock cards
- A Coconut Hunt Recording Sheet
- A 2nd grade practice worksheet
- Answer keys for the coconut cards and the practice page
Why This Telling Time Scavenger Hunt Helps Kids
First, every clock shows a different hour and a different five-minute mark, so children practice counting by fives around the clock face again and again. Second, writing each time in hour and minute boxes connects the analog clock to digital time. Third, moving around the room keeps active learners focused and excited to find the next coconut.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the put the time in the coconut activity for a math center, a review day, or a rainy-day game at home. Partners can race to find all twelve coconuts, or a small group can work together. This 2nd grade telling time activity also makes a quick check before a test on telling time to the five minutes.
