Telling Time Printable Worksheets
Time is a vital skill—in fact, it’s one of those things we use every day without even thinking about it. But for kids learning how to read a clock face, tell time to the nearest minute, and understand units of time like the quarter hour and half hour, it can be a bit of a learning curve!
My 1st grader is at the point where he needs to learn to tell time, and as I started to explain how a clock works, I realized that it’s not all that straightforward! For someone just learning the concept, it can seem a bit complicated! That’s where our free printable telling time worksheets come in!
Whether your child is just starting with the hour hand or moving on to more advanced concepts like minute intervals, these printable worksheets cater to different skill levels and grade levels. I will admit that these are most ideal for kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade.
Oh, and did I mention they’re in easy-to-download PDF format? Yep. All ready to print and go!
Why Telling Time Matters in Everyday Life
I was at work not too long ago and found out from some younger co-workers that they had never learned to read an analog clock! I was quite honestly shocked, and I felt just a tiny bit old! In our digital device world, reading a traditional analog clock might seem like a thing of the past. However, I would argue that knowing how to tell time without depending on a screen is still a necessary skill.
One of the nice things about learning to read an analog clock is that it coincides with learning how to read specific times, which means they are also learning how to read a digital clock!
