About this resource
Description
Telling time starts with the hour. Before children can read 4:30 or 9:15, they need to spot the short hour hand and know what it means when the long minute hand points straight up at the 12. This Telling Time To The Hour Clock Activity gives that first step a festive twist with a Cinco de Mayo fiesta schedule for 1st and 2nd Grade students.
The pack has 22 game cards: 11 analog clock cards and 11 colorful papel picado flag cards, one for every hour from 1:00 to 11:00. Each flag card names a fiesta event and its digital time, such as Parade at 9:00 or Piñata at 2:00. To play, children lay the flag cards face up like a schedule, mix the clock cards into a pile, and take turns drawing a clock. They read the time out loud, find the flag with the same time, and place the clock on it. When every flag has its clock, the fiesta schedule is complete. A 1st Grade practice worksheet asks children to read six clocks and draw a line to the matching fiesta time. This 1st grade cinco de mayo activity works well in a math center, with a small group, or as a quick review before learning time to the half hour.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with prep tips, game steps and an extension idea
- 11 analog clock cards showing time to the hour
- 11 papel picado flag cards with fiesta events and digital times
- A 1st Grade practice worksheet: match each clock to its fiesta time
- A card pairs answer key, plus a practice answer key
Why Kids Love It
- Every clock they read fills in another part of the fiesta day, so the game feels like a story.
- Bright flag cards bring the colors of a Cinco de Mayo celebration to math time.
- Short turns keep everyone reading clocks, and the game is easy to play again.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before the first game, hold up a clock card and ask which hand is short and where it points. Use the Telling Time To The Hour Clock Activity in a math center around Cinco de Mayo, then challenge children to put the flag cards in order from morning to night and tell what happens at each time. At home, families can play a round and talk about the times of their own day.
