Telling the Time – Analogue and Digital Clock Templates

This set of three templates has been created to be a versatile resource for teaching your students about analogue and digital clocks in the classroom. A popular way to use these templates is to print and laminate a class set, then have students use whiteboard markers to write in different analogue and digital times. A great activity to do daily to reinforce analogue and digital times to students!

These templates are the perfect maths warm-up activity to start your maths lesson as well; simply read out different times (suited to where your students are at with their learning), and students complete both analogue and digital clocks. An easy yet effective maths warm-up activity.

Ways to use This Clock Template in the Classroom

Here are several ways you can use these templates in your lessons:

1. Give students the blank analogue clock template and get them to label the numbers on the clock face.
2. Write various digital times on the board and have students complete the analogue times on the template.
3. Read a story that includes different times of the day. Each time you read a time, allow students to complete the blank template with the correct times.
4. Provide the students with times in analogue form and digital form, and then get them to match the times and write them on the template for extra practise.
5. At random times during the day, get students to look at the classroom clock and then write it in digital form on the template.
