By the end of this lesson, you will be able to tell time using craft and art activities.
Materials and Prep
Materials needed:
- Colorful construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Markers or crayons
- Brass fasteners
Things to know before the lesson:
- Basic understanding of how to read the hour and minute hands on a clock
Activities
Create a Clock Craft:
- Using the construction paper, cut out a large circle for the clock face and smaller circles for the hour and minute hands.
- Decorate the clock face with numbers and designs using markers or crayons.
- Attach the hour and minute hands to the center of the clock face using brass fasteners.
Time Telling Game:
- Draw different times on separate pieces of paper.
- Have the student match the time on the clock they created to the times on the paper.
- For an added challenge, ask the student to create their own times and match them.
Talking Points
- Quotation: "The short hand on the clock represents the hour, while the long hand represents the minutes."
- Quotation: "When the minute hand points to the 12, it is always the o'clock position."
- Quotation: "To read the time, start by looking at the hour hand first, then the minute hand."
