Telling the Time Pack

O'clock & half past: read the clock, draw the hands

📄 12 pages · A4 PDF👶 Ages 5–6📚 Maths

Overview

Eleven activity pages that follow the Year 1 classroom order — meet the clock, read o'clock, draw o'clock, then the same for half past.\nMatching games, a my-day-in-times routine page, time pairs and a draw-your-day page make the two hands stick.\nThe telling-time breakthrough, one gentle page at a time — plus a Time Star certificate.

Is this the right pack for your child?

For 5–6 year olds learning to tell the time in Year 1 — o'clock and half past on an analogue clock. Reading the time is one of the first maths skills children use every day, and this pack teaches it in the same order schools do: hands first, o'clock reading, o'clock drawing, then half past. If your child is still working on numbers to 20, start with the numbers pack first.

Torn between packs? still learning numbers? Start with numbers to 20.

What's inside

  • 11 activity pages following the Year 1 classroom order: meet the clock, o'clock, then half past
  • Read-the-clock pages and draw-the-hands pages for both o'clock and half past
  • Match-the-time, o'clock-or-half-past sorting, time pairs and my-day-in-times games
  • Draw-your-day page linking clock times to your child's real routine
  • Time Star certificate to celebrate at the end

How to use this pack at home

  1. Start with the 'meet the clock' page — name both hands until your child can point to each one.
  2. Do o'clock reading before o'clock drawing: reading is easier and builds confidence first.
  3. Keep half past separate until o'clock is automatic — then mix them with the sorting page.
  4. Narrate real times through the day: 'long hand on 12, short hand on 7 — 7 o'clock, bedtime!'
