Clock Race Math Activity



Develop skills required for learning to tell the time, using this fun Clock Race math activity.



Learning to tell the time is an abstract notion that children must gradually master.

One of the earliest steps in learning to tell time is learning the numbers 1-12. This easy game will help re-inforce telling the time on the hour.

Using games and physical activity to re-inforce abstract concepts helps children to learn skills in a multi-sensory way. Its also just good-ol' fun, in comparison with workbooks and worksheets, which are so often over-used in the classroom.
