ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 Teaching Telling Time – A.M. or P.M. – Worksheets for 1st and 2nd Grade
Today, we’re going to have some fun with clocks and learn about A.M. and P.M. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
When we look at a clock, we see two hands. The short hand tells us the hour, and the long hand tells us the minutes. We also need to know if it’s A.M. or P.M. A.M. means morning, and P.M. means afternoon or night.
We have a worksheet with clocks and pictures. Our job is to match the time on the clock with the right picture. Let’s do this together!
Look at the clock. The short hand is between the 4 and the 5, and the long hand is on the 6. This means it’s 4:30 A.M. That’s early in the morning when the sun is just waking up. So, we should circle the picture of the sunrise!
Now, the clock shows the short hand on the 2 and the long hand pointing straight up to the 12. It’s 2:00 P.M., which is in the afternoon. The sun is shining bright, so let’s circle the picture of the day!
Next, we see the short hand between the 2 and the 3, and the long hand on the 6. It’s 2:30 A.M., which is still very early in the morning. It’s dark outside, so let’s circle the picture of the night!
Finally, the clock shows the short hand between the 9 and the 10, and the long hand on the 6. It’s 9:30 P.M. This is usually when we get ready for bed. It’s nighttime, so let’s circle the picture of the night!
You did amazing! Now you know how to tell if it’s A.M. or P.M. by looking at the clock. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a time-telling expert!
Thanks for learning with us today. Don’t forget to have fun with clocks and time!
Time Detective: Go on a “Time Detective” mission around your house. Look at different clocks and write down what time it is. Then, decide if it’s A.M. or P.M. by thinking about what you usually do at that time. Is it breakfast time or bedtime? Share your findings with a family member and see if they agree!
Make Your Own Clock: Create a paper plate clock with movable hands. Use a paper plate for the clock face and cut out two arrows for the hands. Attach them with a brad fastener so they can move. Practice setting different times and ask a friend or family member to guess if it’s A.M. or P.M. based on the activities you describe.
Time Storytelling: Think of a fun story about a day in your life. Draw a picture for each part of your day and write down the time it happens. For example, draw a picture of you eating breakfast at 7:00 A.M. and playing outside at 3:00 P.M. Share your story with the class and see if they can guess the times and whether it’s A.M. or P.M.!

Alright, so today we have a worksheet that says “A.M. or P.M.” Circle the best picture that matches the time on the clock. What we’re going to do is look at the clock over here and figure out what time it is. It also tells us on the side whether it is in the A.M. (morning) or P.M. (night).
Let’s look here. The shorthand is between the 4 and the 5, which lets us know it’s going to be 4 because it’s always the first one if it’s in between. The long hand is on the 6, so it’s 4:30 A.M. (4:30 in the morning). Now, we need to decide if that is the sunrise or the sunset. The sunrise is when the sun comes up in the morning, and the sunset is when the sun goes down. Since it’s 4:30 A.M., it will be the sunrise, so let’s circle that picture.
The next one says 2 o’clock. It’s right on the 2, and the long hand is pointing straight up to the 12, so it’s 2 o’clock P.M. That means it’s in the afternoon. Now, let’s determine if it’s the sunrise or the day. It will be the afternoon, so we will circle that picture.
The next one shows the shorthand between the 2 and the 3, and the long hand is on the 6, which means it’s 2:30 A.M. This is very early in the morning, which looks like nighttime. So, we need to decide if it’s night or day. It will be nighttime, so let’s circle that picture.
The very last one shows the shorthand between the 9 and the 10, and again the long hand is on the 6, which means it’s 9:30 P.M. This is usually around the time we get ready for bed. Now, we need to determine if that is the sunset or nighttime. This one can be tricky because it could be either, depending on where you live. However, I think the correct answer here is nighttime, so let’s circle that picture.
