Hello everyone! Look at my new watch—it’s super cool, right? I’ve just learned how to tell time, and it’s awesome! Now, I know when to wake up, play, and go to bed, which helps me get enough rest. Knowing the time helps me plan my day perfectly.
We use watches or clocks to tell time. You might see them in your classroom or at home. There are two types of clocks: digital clocks and analog clocks. A digital clock shows time with numbers, like the ones on a microwave or in a car.
Today, we’ll learn about analog clocks. These are the ones with two moving hands on a circle numbered from 1 to 12. Let me show you how they work!
The clock is divided into 12 sections, and each section is one hour. One hour is about how long a school period lasts. The clock has two hands: the shorter one is the hour hand, and the longer one is the minute hand. These hands tell us what time it is.
The hour hand moves slowly from one number to the next as the day goes by. It takes two full circles around the clock to make a whole day, which is 24 hours. The minute hand moves faster. A minute is about how long it takes to make a yummy chocolate milk!
When the minute hand goes all the way around the clock, one hour has passed. Both hands move in the same direction—from one to twelve—this is called clockwise.
Let’s start with the basics! When the minute hand is on the number 12, we say the hour hand’s number followed by “o’clock.” For example, if the hour hand is on 1, it’s one o’clock. If it’s on 2, it’s two o’clock. Easy, right?
Now, you try! What time is it when the hour hand is on 7? That’s right, it’s seven o’clock!
When the minute hand is on the number 6, we say the hour and add “thirty.” For example, if the hour hand is on 1, it’s 1:30. If it’s on 2, it’s 2:30.
Your turn! What time is it when the hour hand is on 8 and the minute hand is on 6? Yes, it’s 8:30!
When the minute hand is on the number 3, we say “a quarter after” the hour. For example, if the hour hand is on 5, it’s a quarter after five.
Give it a try! What time is it when the hour hand is on 2 and the minute hand is on 3? Great job, it’s a quarter after two!
When the minute hand is on the number 9, we say “a quarter till” the next hour. For example, if the hour hand is close to 6, it’s a quarter till six.
Now you try! What time is it when the hour hand is near 11 and the minute hand is on 9? Awesome, it’s a quarter till eleven!
Now you know how to tell time by the hour, using 30, a quarter after, and a quarter till. You can organize your day and have lots of fun!
We’ve learned so much today! There are many more exciting things to learn, so keep exploring and having fun!
Make Your Own Clock: Create a simple analog clock using a paper plate, markers, and two strips of paper for the clock hands. Use a pin to attach the hands to the center of the plate so they can move. Practice setting different times on your clock and ask a friend or family member to guess the time. This will help you understand how the hour and minute hands work together.
Time Hunt: Look around your house or classroom for different types of clocks. Can you find both digital and analog clocks? Write down the time you see on each clock and try to read them out loud. Notice how the time changes throughout the day and think about what activities you do at different times.
Time Story: Create a short story about a day in your life using the times you have learned. For example, “At 7 o’clock, I wake up. At 8:30, I go to school. At a quarter after 12, I have lunch.” Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with your class or family. This will help you connect time-telling with your daily routine.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello everyone! Check out my new watch—it’s cool, right? I recently learned how to tell time, and it’s been great! I know when to wake up or sleep at night, which helps me have enough rest. Knowing when to do all my activities helps me plan my day at the right time.
Do you want to see how time works? Let’s find out! We tell time using watches or clocks, like the ones you see in a classroom. There are two types of clocks: a digital clock and an analog clock. A digital clock tells time with numbers. Some examples might be a digital alarm clock, the digital clock on a microwave, or the digital clock in a car.
The other type of clock is called an analog clock, which we will look at in more depth today. It’s like the one I’m wearing. An analog clock shows time with two moving hands on a circle numbered from 1 to 12. Let me show you!
The clock is divided into 12 sections, and each section equals one hour. One hour is how long a school period might be. There are also two hands: the shorter one is the hour hand, and the longer one is the minute hand. The positions of the hour and minute hands indicate what part of the day we are in.
The hour hand moves from one section to another as the day goes by. It takes two circles around the clock to complete a full day, which is 24 hours. The minute hand moves faster than the hour hand. A minute is how long you might take to make chocolate milk.
One circle made by the minute hand around the clock equals one hour. Both the hour and minute hands move in the same direction—from one to twelve—towards the right. This is called clockwise.
Clocks can be fascinating, right? Wow, it’s lunchtime! I’m hungry. Check out the following videos where we will learn about how to tell time. See you soon!
Hey everyone! I love my new watch. I’ve been practicing how to tell time to know how I’ll be spending my day with friends and family.
First, we’ll learn how to say the hours when the minute hand is on the number 12 and the hour hand is on any number. We say that number on the clock. For example, it’s one o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock, four o’clock, and five o’clock. See how easy it is?
Now you try! Could you tell me what time it is?
It’s seven o’clock! What time is it?
It’s eleven o’clock! Awesome!
When the minute hand is on the number six, we say the hour first and then add 30. Since the clock is divided into 12 parts, when the minute hand is in the middle (on the number six) and the hour hand is on one of the numbers, we say that it is that hour and 30. For example, it’s 1:30, 2:30, 3:30, 4:30, and 5:30.
Now it’s your turn! What time is it?
That’s right! It’s 8:30. And now, what time is it?
That’s it! It’s 11:30.
When the minute hand is on the number three, we say that it is a quarter after the hour. For example, it’s a quarter after five, a quarter after six, a quarter after seven, and a quarter after eight.
How about you give it a try? What time is it?
Very good! How about now? What time is it?
It’s a quarter after two! Good job!
Finally, let’s see what happens if we move the minute hand to the number nine. How would you say this time? You can see it has moved from the number 12 to the number nine. There is only a quarter left until it completes the hour.
If the minute hand is on the number nine and the hour hand is closer to the six, that means it’s a quarter of an hour left until six. So we say that it is a quarter till six. Easy, right?
It’s a quarter till three, a quarter till four, and a quarter till five.
All right, now it’s your turn! What time is it?
It’s a quarter till eleven! Awesome! What time is it?
Super! You did great!
You now know how to tell time by the hour, using 30, a quarter after, and a quarter till. Now you will be able to organize your day without any problems.
