Clock craft
You will need:
• Multi-coloured card
• Felt tips
•Scissors
• Pritt Stick
• Split pin
• Skewer
Instructions:
1. Draw and cut the shape you’d like for your clock. Remember
clocks don’t always have to be a circle shape.
2. Colour and trim the 12 numbers provided.
3. Next, stick your numbers onto your clock face. Glue the 12, 3,
6 and 9 on first so the other numbers are easier to position.
4. Colour and cut the clock hands then carefully make a small
hole in the end of each hand and attach them to a split pin.
5. Put a hole in the centre of the clock and carefully push the
hands and the split pin through the middle.
6. Finally, finish decorating your clock with any other creative
materials you have around your classroom.
Extra ideas
Use this fun activity to teach your
class about how to tell the time
and how to use time language in
everyday life.
•Have cards with different times on, both
numerical (7:30) and verbally written down (half past seven). Mix the cards up and then get the class to match up the right pairs.
•Place numbers 1-12 on the floor to make it
look like a clock. Shout out a time and ask
he children to use their arms to point to the
right time.
Why not?
Ask the class to think about their school day routine.
They should write down activities and times. Ask them
to create a range of clocks and colour in the times they
take part in the activity. For example, if lunch takes
place between 12pm-1pm, the child should shade in
this area on a clock face.
Top Tip!
Get the class to set the clock to their
favourite time of the day and explain
why they have chosen this time.
