These printable worksheets are the perfect learning activity that helps a child identify the time of the day and get comfortable with telling the time looking at an analog clock. Practicing with these resources, students need to read time from a clock, check for AM or PM at the bottom, and circle the correct option: morning, day, evening, or night.
These learning pages are designed specifically to help children who are learning to tell the time by looking at the clock. Using these worksheets, children have a chance to learn about conventions of time marking using a.m. and p.m.
These worksheets can be used in a variety of ways, depending on the children's previous knowledge and learning aim of your class. First of all, you need to help children grasp the idea, that time relates to their schedule and daily activities. For instance, 8 o'clock in the morning is when they have breakfast. Teach them to understand that the short hand shows the hour and the long hand shows the minutes. The marks a.m. and p.m. show that this is either morning time (a.m.), or afternoon, evening time (p.m.). As soon as the are confident at that, you can move on teaching to tell exact time (half past two, three o'clock, etc.).
To personalize the activity, you can ask children what they do at this time of the day. Organize pairwork or group work to let children perform a survey on their usual activities at various times of the day. After the data is collected, you can put the results on the whiteboard and discuss it with the whole class.
This activity is suitable for 4–7 years old students, U.S. school: Kindergarten, 1st grade.
These learning pages are suitable for black and white and color printers.
