Learn to read the clock

Twelve clocks a page, each a different one — a pumpkin, a pocket watch, a clock with arms and legs — and the hands drawn exactly where they should be.

How it works
Ages6–9TypeMath

Short hand first, then the long one.

A telling-time worksheet generator, printable as a PDF. Six activities on one form: read the clock and write the time; draw the hands for a time; match clocks to digital times; circle the time in words ("half past three", "quarter to nine"); what time will it be after an hour or forty minutes; and put four clocks in order. Three levels follow the US standards — hour and half hour for first grade, five minutes for second, the minute and elapsed time for third. The clocks are classic, characters with arms and legs, or seasonal (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's and more). Times are written the American 12-hour way by default; a 24-hour option is there for families elsewhere.
