2. Read time to the nearest hour and half hour on an analog clock. 

3. Use vocabulary like “o’clock,” “half past” when telling time. 

4. Understand why time is important in daily life — routines, school schedule, etc.

---

Materials / Resources

• A large analog clock model (or classroom wall clock) 

• Flashcards / drawings of clock faces showing different times

• Worksheets (see below)

• Whiteboard / chart paper + marker

• (Optional) Moveable clock hands (cut-outs) for hands-on practice

---

Lesson Procedure

1. Warm-up / Introduction (5 min)

   • Greet students and ask: “Do you know what time is?”

   • Use a large analog clock or model: point to clock and ask them what the “hour hand” is, and what the “minute hand” is. 

   • Explain that today they will learn how to tell the time in English.

2. Teaching / Presentation (10 min)

   • Introduce the clock parts:

     • Hour hand (shorter) 

     • Minute hand (longer)

   • Explain how the minute hand moves in “5-minute steps” as it goes from one number to the next. 

   • Teach key vocabulary: o’clock, half past. Use phrases: “What time is it?” “It’s 3 o’clock.” “It’s half past 4.” 

   • Use the clock model to show some example times (e.g., 2:00, 3:30).

3. Guided Practice (8 min)

   • Call up a few students to the clock model. Ask them to set the clock hands to certain times you say (“Set to 5 o’clock”, “Set to half past 6”).

   • After setting each, ask the class: “What time is it?” Encourage students to answer with “It’s … o’clock” or “It’s … half past …”.

4. Pair Activity / Group Work (7 min)

   • Put students in pairs. Give each pair a small paper clock face (either printed or drawn) and separate hour and minute hands (cut-outs).

   • Give each pair some time cards (or write times on board) like: 1:00, 4:30, 6:00, 2:30. Ask pairs to show those times on their clock faces and say the time in English.

5. Worksheet / Written Practice (5 min)

   • Distribute the worksheet (see below). Let students complete it individually or in pairs.

6. Reflection / Consolidation (3 min)

   • Ask students: “Why is knowing how to tell time useful?”

   • Recap: hour hand, minute hand, important phrases (“o’clock”, “half past”), and how we use time in daily life (school, home).

7. Homework / Follow-Up

• Ask students to watch a clock at home (wall clock or watch) for two different times (morning and evening) and write what times they saw (using “o’clock” or “half past”).

• In their notebook, they should draw two clocks and label the times they saw.

Worksheet: Telling Time — Grade 3

A. Draw the Hands
Below are blank clock faces. Draw the hour hand and minute hand to show each time:

1. 3:00

2. 6:30

3. 9:00

4. 12:30

B. Write the Time in Words
Look at each clock face (teacher/prepared worksheet) and write the time in English:

1. ☐ o’clock = _______

2. ☐ half past = _______

3. ☐ o’clock = _______

4. ☐ half past = _______

Five Activity Ideas to Make “Time” Lesson Engaging

1. Clock Craft

   • Give students paper plates, two paper hands (hour, minute), and a little pin. Let them make their own working clock. Use it to practice different times.

2. What’s the Time, Mr. Wolf? (Modified)

   • Play a modified “What’s the time, Mr. Wolf?” game: One student is “Wolf” and says a time (“It’s 3 o’clock”), and the others set their mini-clocks to that time.

3. Time Bingo

   • Make bingo cards with times (written like “2:00”, “4:30”, “5:00”). Call out times and students mark them on their cards using their own clock faces to verify.

4. Daily Routine Timeline

   • Ask students to make a simple daily schedule: draw five activities (like wake up, breakfast, school, play, sleep), and write the times they usually do them (using “o’clock” or “half past”).

5. Interactive Time Quiz

   • Use flashcards showing clock faces. Hold up a card, ask a student: “What time is this?” They answer in English. Rotate so everyone gets a turn.
