1-2-3 Come Tell Time With Me!

If you need a clock, telling time templates to make games and activities, or assessment worksheets for assessing analog and digital time, this is the packet for you.

Choose from a variety of digital and analog clocks to help you teach the Common Core State Standard:1.MD.3

The photo shows just a few of the fun types of clocks.

I've designed both large teacher clocks for demonstration purposes, as well as matching mini clocks for students to make and manipulate.

Run off and glue the clock templates to construction paper or a paper plate for durability.  Add paperclips or tag board hands for students to manipulate.

I've also included fraction clocks to show 5 after, quarter after, and half past, so that you can review this vocabulary and another Common Core Math Standard as well.

These clocks make nice telling time anchor charts to refer to.

Calling out a time and having students move the hands to make that time, and then holding up their clock, is a quick, easy and fun way to whole group assess.

There are a variety of blank as well as filled-in clocks so students have an opportunity to learn as they make their clock. 

I truly believe that "doing" leads to understanding.  Why give a child a pre-made plastic clock, when you can build their self-esteem, by having them make their own.

Writing in numbers on their clocks, will help reinforce time concepts as well.

I also have several different telling digital and analog time assessment sheets so students can record answers and give you a paper trail of accomplishment for their student portfolio's or file.

You can make these into games, by orally giving students a time for them to record on their answer sheet.

You can also hold up your clock and have students shoot up their hand to tell you what time it is, or use the assessments as an "I Spy!" the time activity.

1-2-3 Come Play A Game With Me!

Whenever I design a lesson I try to theme it to something that is going on during the month I'll be teaching it.

Since February is Dental Hygiene Month, a lot of teachers do lessons involving teeth. 

I thought it would be fun to design a "Tooth Time" activity, so that you could review telling time to the hour. 

It's a nice plug in for your other dental activities, as it's always time to remember to brush your teeth.

There are 2 different ways to play the game.

For one game, students spin the tooth clock.  Whatever time they land on, they write down the digital time on their toothbrush log. 

The first one to fill in all of the times, or has the most completed, when the timer rings, is the winner.

In the second game students practice their math skills. 

Children roll first one dice, 'til they have filled in their tooth clock from 1-6.  When they have accomplished that, they roll two dice and add them together, so they can fill in the remaining times.

Do you have a Dental Hygiene lesson you could share with us?  I'd enjoy hearing from you: diane@teachwithme.com or post a comment here.
