Hey there! Do you want to learn how to tell the time? It’s super fun and easy! Let’s start by counting together. Can you count from 1 to 12 with me? Ready, set, go!
Great job counting! Now, let’s see what time it is. Imagine a big clock with numbers all around it. The clock goes tick tock, tick tock. Let’s find out what time it is!
Look at the clock! It says it’s 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30. Can you say those times with me? What about 4:30? The clock keeps going tickety tock, tick tock, tick tock.
Let’s keep going! What time is it now? It’s 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30. And look, it’s also 8:30! The clock is still saying tickety tock, tick tock, tick tock.
We’re almost there! Can you help me one more time? What time is it now? It’s 9:30, 10:30, and 11:30. And finally, it’s 12:30! The clock is happy and says tickety tock, tick tock, tick tock.
Yay! Now we’ve learned to tell the time. Isn’t that awesome? We can look at the clock and know what time it is. The clock is still going tickety tock, tick tock, tick tock. Great job, time-teller!
Make Your Own Clock: Let’s create a clock together! Use a paper plate as the clock face. Write numbers 1 to 12 around the edge, just like a real clock. Use two different colored paper strips for the hour and minute hands. Attach them with a paper fastener in the center. Now, you can move the hands to show different times. Can you show 3:30 or 7:30 on your clock?
Time Hunt: Go on a time hunt around your house! Look for different clocks and see what time they show. Can you find a clock that shows 5:30 or 9:30? Take a picture or draw a picture of the clock and share it with your friends or family. Talk about what you usually do at those times of the day.
Time Story: Create a short story about a day in your life using the times you’ve learned. For example, “At 7:30, I wake up and have breakfast. At 12:30, I have lunch.” Draw pictures to go with each time and share your story with the class. What other activities do you do at different times?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
