Description
How to Teach Telling Time
This telling time activity gives children plenty of practice reading an analog clock. Students learn to read the hour hand and the minute hand together, starting with times to the hour, then moving to the half hour and the quarter hour. First and second grade students build the clock-reading skill they use every day at school and at home.
How to Use the Activity
Cut apart the 24 clock task cards. They come in three colored sets: Set 1 shows times to the hour, Set 2 to the half hour and Set 3 to the quarter hour, so each child can start at the right level and move up. Children read the clock on each card and write the time next to the matching card number on the Tick-Tock recording sheet. A second grade practice worksheet asks students to draw the hour hand and the minute hand to show six digital times. These clock task cards work well in math centers, small groups, partner work or as a quick review.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with simple steps
- 24 clock task cards in three leveled sets
- A Tick-Tock recording sheet
- A 2nd grade practice worksheet: draw the hands on the clock
- Answer keys for the recording sheet and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Leveled sets let every child practice at the right challenge.
- Accurate clocks show the hour hand moving between the numbers.
- Reading and drawing clocks builds understanding in both directions.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the telling time activity as a morning warm-up, or time a partner race through one set. At home, ask your child to read the kitchen clock at breakfast, lunch and bedtime and match it to a card.
