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

I keep telling myself "April showers bring May flowers" to help chase the dreary-drip feelings away, because of all the incessant rain we've had here in Michigan for the last 4 days straight.

Since it was pouring outside, I decided to make a rain game to help students review and practice telling time to the hour in one game, and telling time to the half hour in another. (Common Core State Standard: 1.MD.3)

Students spin the clock spinner.  Whatever number they land on, children write the digital time at the top of the raindrop, and then draw hands for that time on their analog clock as well.

If the paperclip spinner lands between two numbers they may choose either.  The first one with all of their raindrops filled in and colored is the winner.

If you want everyone to practice completing the clocks, then have those who have finished, color the children or the turtle on the page 'til everyone gets done.

If you'd like to review simple addition, instead of using the spinner, have students use 1st one, and then 2 dice to achieve the time.

Students cut out the circle, glue it to a paper plate and then count by 5’s to write in the helpful numbers around the clock.

Punch a hole in the center, fasten a brass brad and attach a small and large paperclip and you’re done! Students can take turns calling out a time.  Everyone manipulates the paperclip hands to make that time and holds up their clock to show the answer.  It's a quick & easy way to whole-group assess.

I’ve also included a plain clock so that you can use it anytime, without the shamrock theme idea.  Click on the link to view/download the Shamrock Clock
