Telling the Time Game – Practise Time to the Minute with a Competitive Board Game

Get your students excited about learning to tell time with this fun, engaging game! Students will practise representing different times in analogue, digital and word forms and drawing the correct hands on the clock.

How to Play This Telling Time Game

Each player gets a copy of the analogue clock answer sheet, digital clock answer sheet, and word form answer sheet to play. Each sheet can be placed in a clear plastic sleeve with a dry erase marker. Players will take turns choosing cards and performing the action on each. The player can spin the spinner and move their game piece if the answer is correct. Whoever gets to the end of the board first is the winner!

Through this activity, students will show they can read analogue clocks, write time in word form, and draw the correct hands on an analogue clock to show the time.
