Nine blank clocks, each with a time above it in words and in figures, such as “twenty-one minutes past six” and 6:21. Children draw the short hour hand and the long minute hand to show each time. Count in fives to the last number before the long hand, then on in ones along the small marks: 20, 21, 22, 23.

Printing tips

  • Print at 100% (actual size); the PDFs are already set up for US Letter and A4.
  • Print the clock face on card stock and slip it into a plastic sleeve to use with a dry-erase marker again and again.
  • Keep the make-your-own clock beside the worksheets so children can set each time before writing it.
