Telling the Time Cards at KS1

This versatile resource is designed to support teachers in teaching time to Key Stage 1 students. The set includes four different types of clock faces on ‘camera’ cards, allowing children to practice time-telling skills. The clock faces are presented in a clear and engaging manner, making it easy for young learners to understand and interact with them.
Activity Ideas:

1. Explore a range of real clocks including wall clocks, alarm clocks, watches, digital clocks and roman numeral clocks.
2. Display a clock face card on the board and have students identify the time. This can be done as a whole class activity or in small groups. This resource supports o’clock, half past and quarter past the hour. There are blank templates for you to extend further.
3. Create Your Own Clock: Use card circles, students create their own clock faces. They can choose a style they prefer and add the times using markers, stickers, or other materials. This hands-on activity will help them develop a deeper understanding of how different clock faces represent time.
4. Time Matching: Print and cut out multiple sets of the clock face cards. Have students work in pairs or small groups to match the different clock faces showing the same time. This activity encourages collaboration and reinforces their time-telling skills.
5. Cut out the camera cards, laminate and add to the maths table with dry markers.
