Isn’t it fun to imagine all these characters going up and down the clock? You can even make up your own stories with different characters! Try drawing them or acting them out with your friends.
Remember, learning can be fun and silly too! Keep exploring and using your imagination every day.
Create Your Own Clock Characters: Use paper plates, markers, and craft supplies to create your own clock and characters. Draw a clock face on the paper plate and use craft sticks or paper cutouts to make characters like a ghost, mummy, or even your own unique character. Act out your own version of “Hickory Dickory Dock” with your new characters climbing up and down the clock. What happens when the clock strikes a different number?
Character Story Time: Gather in a circle and take turns telling a story about what happens to one of the characters after they come down from the clock. Encourage everyone to use their imagination. For example, what does the ghost do next? Does the pirate find a treasure? This activity helps develop storytelling skills and creativity.
Clock Observation Walk: Go on a walk around your school or neighborhood to find different types of clocks. Take note of where you see them and what they look like. Are they big or small? Do they have numbers or just hands? Discuss how clocks help us tell time and why they are important in our daily lives. This activity encourages observation and understanding of timekeeping.
