minutes after 12 on the board
Children countinue moving the
minute hands around the clocks and counting by fives, stopping

chalkboard.
Activities:
1. Have students draw the hands
on the clocks to represent the correct time. Demonstrate the answers
for students to self-check their work. Worksheet
2.Play "What Time Is It?" One student is the town crier.
He/she describes the time; e.g. "The hour hand is on the
three, the minute hand is on the 2. What time is it?" Other
students must guess the time. Clocks may be used to help figure
the time. Take the Time Quiz.
3. Discuss what happens during
the students' day at specific times. Have students write the time
in standard notation form, then draw a picture to illustrate the
activity. This activity can be varied to incorporate ideas such
as a picture diary of a day at school, at home, or visiting a
special place.
4. Play "Time Trail."
Prepare a game board with a patch of clocks from start to finish.
Each player rolls the dice and moves forward to land on a clock.
The student must read the time. If the time is incorrectly read,
the move is canceled. Play continues until all players have reached
the end. Print Game Board
