Title - Early To Bed - A Time Game
By - Anne Daniel
Primary Subject - Math
Grade Level - 1-3
To be used after teaching time to the hour, half hour and quarter hour. Use to re-enforce how to tell time on an analogue clock. Can be used as a whole class or small group activity. Can be adapted for grade levels, this was used in a grade 2 class.
You will need:
Student clocks (analogue)
dice (1 per student)
spinner with minutes (:00, :15, :30, :45)
How to play:
Students work in pairs. First player rolls the 2 die and adds the total for the hours (i.e., 2+6= 8). Then s/he spins the spinner for the minutes. (i.e., :45). They combine the hours and minutes to come up with their "bedtime", i.e. 8:45. They display their bedtimes on their student clocks. Player 2 follows same procedure. The one with the earlier bedtime is the winner!
This is a good opportunity to wander and assess students as they play their game. Challenge - hand out "10 more minutes" cards or "Go to bed a half hour early" cards and have students add or subtract time from their clocks.
