⭐ More Practice Opportunities
Use the blank space on the back of these worksheets to draw more clocks and challenge your child to either identify the time you’ve drawn on the clock or to draw the minute and hour hands onto the clock for a specific time you give them.
⭐ Clock Spotter
Clocks are all around us. Help your child spot clocks around them and encourage them to determine the time on the clock. If you encounter mostly digital clocks, ask your child to picture what the time would look like on an analog clock or to show you which numbers on the digital clock represent the hour and which ones represent the minutes.
