Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with time? Let’s play a game called “Hip-Hop Around the Clock.” It’s super easy and lots of fun!
When I say a time, you stop and listen. If you’re at the time I say, you shout, “Hip-hop, Hip-hop!” Let’s practice together!
Now the time is 8 o’clock. Hip-hop, Hip-hop, it’s 8 o’clock!
Now the time is 5 o’clock. Hip-hop, Hip-hop, it’s 5 o’clock!
Now the time is 2 o’clock. Hip-hop, Hip-hop, it’s 2 o’clock!
Now the time is 11 o’clock. Hip-hop, Hip-hop, it’s 11 o’clock!
Now the time is 7 o’clock. Hip-hop, Hip-hop, it’s 7 o’clock!
Now the time is 4 o’clock. Hip-hop, Hip-hop, it’s 4 o’clock!
You did a great job! Now you can try this game with your friends or family. Just pick a time, say it out loud, and see who can shout “Hip-hop, Hip-hop!” the fastest. It’s a fun way to learn about time and practice saying the hours on the clock. Keep playing and have fun!
Make Your Own Clock: Create a simple clock using a paper plate, a brad (paper fastener), and two strips of paper for the hands. Draw numbers 1 to 12 around the edge of the plate. Use the brad to attach the paper strips to the center of the plate as the clock hands. Practice setting different times on your clock and shout “Hip-hop, Hip-hop!” when you get it right. This will help you understand how to read a clock and recognize different times.
Time Scavenger Hunt: Ask an adult to hide small notes around your home with different times written on them, like “3 o’clock” or “6 o’clock.” Use your paper clock to set the time you find on each note. Once you set the correct time, shout “Hip-hop, Hip-hop!” and move on to find the next note. This activity will help you practice telling time and make it a fun adventure.
Daily Time Tracker: Create a simple chart with different times of the day, such as morning, noon, afternoon, and evening. Draw or write down what you do at each time, like eating breakfast at 8 o’clock or playing in the afternoon at 3 o’clock. Share your chart with your family and explain your daily routine. This will help you connect the concept of time to your everyday activities.
