This activity book offers four levels of difficulty, with each level building
on the preceding concepts. Look for the stars in the corner of the activity
pages to determine what level the activity falls under.
time. For some children, this may be a quick and easy review, but for
others, it will be an introduction.
2
Level 2 activities explore half-hour and quarter-hour time intervals. If the child
needs more practice on half-hour and quarter-hour time, use these pages as catalysts
Level 2 for similar activities. The activities in Level 1 can also be adjusted to create similar
activities for half- and quarter-hours. The game on pages 14 and 15 is geared for hour and
half-hour review. You can make this game more challenging by creating your own game board
using quarter-hour activities.
At the end of the book, on pages 30 and 31, you will find Extension
Activities. These additional ideas will help extend the time activities.

How to Play: One player is heads, the other is tails. Player 1 places
a penny on a square, heads- or tails-up, depending on what he
or she has chosen. The player then makes up a half-hour problem
whose answer will be the time on that square. For example, if a
player places a penny on the time 12:30, he or she might say, “I will
practice my violin for 30 minutes. I will start at 12:00.” The player
then sets the clock at 12:00 and moves the minute hand ahead one
half hour. If the time on the clock matches the time under the penny,
the player leaves the penny on the square. Otherwise he or she
removes it.
28
Tic-Tac Time: 15-Minute Count
You Need: 25 pennies, 2 Game Boards
How to Play: One player is heads, the other is tails. Players play
this game like 30-Minute Bingo, but make up 15-minute problems
to match the times on the squares. For example, if a player places
a penny on the 12:30 square, he or she might say, “I will play
basketball for 15 minutes. I will start at 12:15.”
29
Extension Activities
1) Obtain train and bus schedules. Make up your own time
problems like those on pages 22-23.
30
Extension Activities (continued)
6) Create a schedule of your day’s events. Figure out how much of the day is spent
sleeping, eating, playing, working, etc. Compare a weekday schedule to a weekend
schedule. How do you spend your time differently?
7) Go on a Time Trek. Collect or write down the various timepieces we use. What are
their differences? What are their similarities? How have time pieces changed over
the years?
