Telling Time to the Hour Resources for Kids

Telling Time is a very important topic to teach kids. 

Here are a few resources to help you get started.

Learning to tell time can be difficult for some kids. That's why it's important for kids to have lots of practice and learn in a happy, fun environment.

It's important to start with concrete objects so I love to make paper plate clocks with the kids. You will find lots of examples of paper plate clocks on this blog.

Turkey Time Paper Plate Clock

Here is a simple and fun Thanksgiving Project to make with the kids. The kids can use the clock all month to practice their Telling Time skills.

I found these turkey paper plates at the supermarket but you could use a solid color plate and have students draw a fun turkey in the middle.

The felt numbers were purchased at a craft store (with a discount coupon). This particular set needed to be glued on the plate but most packages of numbers already have a sticky backing.

The clock hands were cut from craft foam purchased at the dollar store and the brass fastener was bought in a box at Staples but can also be purchased at supermarkets, drug stores, etc.

Many students have difficulty learning to tell time with analog clocks, so providing them with a fun activity where they can make their own clock should be an incentive to practice this skill.
