Time is very important part in our life and telling the time is also a necessary life skill that people need to master especially for children. At the early ages, you teach your little kids about time and talking about routines daily in a day. At school, teachers have not enough time and there are many subjects to teach their pupils about time, thus, parents need to help them to tell the time at home.

These curriculum in school don’t supply enough time to practice this skill. Today Coloringpagesonly will give some ideas for teaching how to tell the time for little kids.

You introduce some different methods or styles of clock to measure the time such as a watch, digital clock, analogue clock, stop clock and others. You think some games to challenge your kids such as completing a jigsaw in two minutes, or color for coloring pages in 5 minutes and many other challenges. These challenges will help them to develop understanding or knowledge of the time.

Talk to your children about concepts of the time morning, noon, evening and night, mention about daily routines such as "In the morning, we get up, brush teeth ....", "At night we go to bed " ... These will help kids to recognize and understand about concepts of time and know of the position of the hour and minute hand.

Explain the features on a clock. Explain clock hands that the short hand shows the hour and the long hand depicts the minutes, talk about the numbers are marked for each minute, your kids will understand that in each number there are five minutes.

Explain in a hour there are sixty minutes. Make your children understand the movement of clock hands, the minute hand moves around the clock once, it means that an hour has passed and the hour hand will move to next hour.

Next move to teach half past and quarter to and help them to practice with their daily routines such as "It's half past nine, that's when we go to bed".

Once your kids can learn to tell the time in some days or some weeks, you continue to help them practice more until they are confident. Supplying their own watch and a clock in their bedroom, this make them have motivation in learning.
