What to do with this activity?

It's a good idea to have a traditional round-faced clock somewhere in your home to help your child learn to read the clock. Look at the clock together as part of your normal daily routine.

Talk about the time for different things your child does - “It’s half past eight, time for school”. Talk about hours, minutes and seconds. Challenge them to get dressed in under a minute, and count out loud in seconds. Give them fifteen minutes to complete a task. Have fun with time.

If your eight or nine year old is reasonably confident in telling the time from a clock face, here is a good game to play.

Have a look at digital clock too - point out which is the hour display, and which is the minutes display. Explain the difference between a 12 hour and a 24 clock. Instead of morning (am) or afternoon (pm) times, the hours are counted up after midday (12) until midnight (24).
