Time Detectives: Reading the Clock
Key Stage 1 • Years 1–2 • Intermediate
Instructions: Work through the activities in order. Read each clock carefully and write your answer in the box. The clocks show times to the hour, half past and quarter past or quarter to.
O’clock or Half Past?
Look at each clock. Write the time shown using words, such as “3 o’clock” or “half past 3”. Check where the long minute hand points.
Quarter Past and Quarter To
Read the clocks and write each time in words. Remember: quarter past means 15 minutes after the hour, and quarter to means 15 minutes before the next hour.
Match the Time to the Words
Draw a line from each clock to the matching time phrase. The time phrases are mixed up, so read each clock rather than matching across the row.
Before, After and Between
Use the order of the hours on a clock to complete each answer. Write the missing number or time in the box.
1. One hour after 4 o’clock is ___ o’clock.
2. One hour before 9 o’clock is ___ o’clock.
3. Half past 2 comes between 2 o’clock and ___ o’clock.
4. Quarter past 6 is 15 minutes after ___ o’clock.
Time in the Day
Read each clue and write a sensible time. Use o’clock or half past in your answer. Different daily routines can happen at different times, so use the clue to choose a suitable time.
