Hi there! Do you want to learn how to tell the time? It’s fun and easy! Let’s start by counting together.
First, let’s count from 1 to 12. Ready? Here we go: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Great job!
Now, let’s see what time it is. We can look at the clock to find out. The clock goes tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. Let’s practice with some times:
What time is it? It’s 1:45. Can you say it with me? 1:45.

Let’s keep going! What time is it? It’s 5:45. Say it: 5:45.

The clock is always going tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. Isn’t that fun?
Now we’ve learned to tell the time! Isn’t that great? We can look at the clock and know what time it is. The clock keeps saying tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, and now we know what it means!
Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a time-telling expert!
Make Your Own Clock: Let’s create a clock! Use a paper plate as the clock face. Write the numbers 1 to 12 around the edge. Cut out two arrows from colored paper for the hour and minute hands. Attach them to the center of the plate with a paper fastener so they can move. Now, practice setting different times on your clock. Can you show 3:00? How about 6:30?
Time Hunt: Look around your house for different clocks. How many can you find? Are they all the same? Do they all show the same time? Take note of the times you see and try to say them out loud. For example, “It’s 2:15 on the kitchen clock!”
Time Telling Game: Ask a family member to call out a time, like 4:30 or 7:15. Use your homemade clock to show that time. Then, switch roles and you call out a time for them to show. See how many times you can get right!
