Understanding the concept of time can be quite confusing for kindergartners and primary grade kids. Sixty minutes make an hour, and minutes hand travels in an arithmetic progression of five. But with the help of online educational games, understanding these concepts becomes easy and less daunting for young minds.

Introduction

Learning to tell time is a huge developmental milestone for small kids. Although they do have a basic understanding of the passage of time and can sense when it is their playtime, time for bed, and time for their favorite cartoon, looking at the clock and telling time is different.

It is worth noting that when a kid starts reading the clock, he/she has a greater awareness of the time passed. For instance, 2-minutes of hand wash and an hour of reading would start making more sense to them. However, teaching this concept on our own can be a tad difficult, especially with limited resources during the home-study sessions.

What can be the Hurdles You Might Face?

Reading time is a radical process and needs a lot of groundwork before introducing it to the kids. Some of the common challenges that you may come across can be:

1. Confusion Between the Hour and Minute Hand:

We all would have done this during our initial days of clock reading! Five minutes past three can easily become 15 minutes past 1 if we confuse the hour and minute hand.

2. Reading the Hour Hand

Your kid would need to understand that the number the hour hand points at or has just moved past is the current hour. The hour would remain the same till the minute hand completes one complete rotation and reaches 12 again.

3. Understanding the Minute hand

60 minutes make an hour, but there are only 12 numbers on the clock. So, they must be taught to skip count by five for every consecutive number. They must understand that the minute hand pointing at a certain number is ideally 5 times that number.

For instance, a clock with the minute hand pointing at 6 should be read as 6 times 5, that is, 30 and not just as 6.

Thus, we need a more strategic approach to get the concepts right the first time, and there is no better way than introducing educational concepts through online games.

Online Games for Easy Time Telling

No learning can happen without practice, and this is the first thing your kids can benefit from the SplashLearn games. These online educational games are specifically designed for kindergartners and primary grade kids to practice and perfect the concept of time in a fun-filled and easy way. The games are grade-based and hence, would have different levels for kindergartners and primary grade kids.

It is worth noting that these games transition from reading the hour hand and then the minute hand for beginners. Hence, kids would slowly get familiarized and well acquainted with the two hands with constant practice before moving on to the next level.

After they finish the basic guide on reading analog clocks, they would move to the next level to practice writing and telling time in hours. They can practice clock reading by guessing the time, picking the right clock that shows a particular time, and setting a particular hour in the clock.

On the other hand, the primary kids can practice on the different time formats, telling time in words and practice setting time that is given in words.

In Conclusion

Teaching the concept of time need not be a cumbersome task, and online analog clock games like those on SplashLearn can make the learning process quite easy, fun, and engaging for small kids.

It is our constant endeavor to make learning fun for your kids. So if there is any feedback that you would like to give to make our games more engaging, please feel free to write to us at help@splashlearn.com.
