Set the Clock Game

September 9th, 2013

I made up this game to help Seth learn to tell time. We used this awesome clock my mom gave us (I know they sell them at Barnes and Noble) and I made three dice: one with the numbers 1-6, one with the numbers 7-12, and one with various times (like :00, :30, :15, :45). 

Seth would roll one of the number dice (we alternated so he got practice with all 12 hours) and the time dice to get a time to set the clock to. For example, this is what he rolled at one point: 

He had to set the clock to 6:00 and then got to roll again. We played until he got bored! He's mastered telling time to the hour, is pretty good to the half-hour, and needs help with the rest (which is absolutely great for a kindergartner!).
