Today, we're going to embark on a magical journey through time! By the end of this lesson, you will be able to tell time to the hour and half-hour on an analog clock. Are you ready?
Gather around, young adventurers! Imagine if you had a special watch that could transport you anywhere in the world, but it always needed to know the right time. Our first stop on this journey is to learn how to read the time on a clock.
Before we set off, let’s solve a little riddle!
In the morning, I wake you up.
With my hands, I help you show up.
In the afternoon, I help you play,
And in the evening, I end your day.
What am I?
Can you guess? (Pause for students to think)
That’s right! I’m a clock! Just like a time machine, a clock helps us know when to wake up, when it’s time for lunch, and when it’s time to go home.
Now that we know the clock is our time machine, let's get to know its parts:
Take out your mini-clocks or paper plates and markers. I want you all to draw a big, round clock. Let’s put the numbers on it together!
What time is it? That's right! It’s 3:00!
Now that we’ve met our time-traveling friend, the clock, we’re ready to start our adventure into telling time! We'll play fun games, solve problems, and even create our own time schedules. Let’s keep our clocks nearby as we dive deeper into the wonderful world of time!
Let’s hop into our time machine and start learning to tell time!
