What time is it?

Hello teachers!!

I've remembered how difficult it was teaching time to our children last month when we started with the first class.

I got stressed trying and trying with different games and videos on the internet.

But then told me teacher to be patient because this is one of the most difficult things to teach at that year's age, 6.

They don't get at all what you are telling them about time. How can an hour get only 60 minutes? They use to count out to 100. For example, when it's quarter to five and you want to get half an hour more, they don't catch it.

It's easier for them to use the digital clock but they must also learn with the analogue one.  

We used this playing resource to make it easier: 


And it worked! They got the idea playing with this clock in order to complete their exercises.


Hope you find this resource interesting!

Antonio.
