ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English What time is it? – Learning How to Tell Time – Clock Time – Counting Hours and Minutes – Episode 1
Hello everyone! Guess what? I have a super cool watch, and I just learned how to tell time! It’s really fun because now I know when to wake up, play, and go to bed. Knowing the time helps me plan my day perfectly!
We use clocks to tell time. You might see them in your classroom or at home. There are two kinds of clocks: digital and analog.
Digital clocks show time with numbers. You might see them on a microwave, an alarm clock, or even in a car. They are easy to read because they just show the numbers.
Now, let’s talk about analog clocks. These are the ones with hands that move in a circle. My watch is an analog clock! It has numbers from one to twelve, and two hands that move around.
Analog clocks have two hands:
When the minute hand makes a full circle, it means one hour has passed. Both hands move in the same direction, from 1 to 12, which is called clockwise.
Clocks are amazing because they help us know what part of the day it is. For example, when it’s lunchtime, I know it’s time to eat my favorite sandwich!
We’ve learned a lot about clocks today! There are many more fun things to learn about telling time. Keep watching more videos to become a time-telling expert. See you next time!
Make Your Own Clock: Create a simple analog clock using a paper plate, a split pin, and two strips of cardboard for the hour and minute hands. Decorate the clock face with numbers from 1 to 12. Practice moving the hands to show different times, like when you wake up or when you have lunch. Ask a friend or family member to quiz you by asking, “What time is it?”
Time Detective: Go on a “time hunt” around your house or school. Look for different types of clocks, both digital and analog. Make a list of where you find them and what time they show. Discuss with a friend or family member why knowing the time is important in each location. For example, why is it important to know the time in the kitchen or classroom?
Time Story: Write a short story about a day in your life using time to describe your activities. For example, “At 7:00 AM, I wake up and get ready for school. At 12:00 PM, I have lunch with my friends.” Share your story with the class or a family member, and use your paper clock to show the times as you read your story.
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 so I can 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 that move in a circle on numbers one through twelve.
Let me show you! It is numbered one to twelve, and we divide the clock into twelve sections. 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 it might take to make chocolate milk—yum!
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 1 to 12, towards the right. This is called clockwise.
Clocks can be fascinating, right?
Wow, it’s my lunchtime! I’m hungry.
