Children learn to tell time by doing it again and again, and games make the again and again easy to ask for. The games here go in the order time is taught: the hour and half hour in grade 1, quarter hours and 5 minutes in grades 1 and 2, and elapsed time (how long, and what time it will be) in grades 2 and 3.
Four in a Row is for two players with two dice and two colored pencils. The dice total points to a time in the chart, and the player colors a clock that shows it. The clocks have 12, 3, 6 and 9 on them, and the short hour hand is drawn thicker than the minute hand, so children can tell them apart.
I Have, Who Has? is a group game: each card shows a clock and asks for another time, and the cards go round in a loop. With one or two children, lay the cards out like dominoes instead, clock to matching time. Build a Clock needs a paper fastener; glue it to card and it lasts all year.
