Telling time worksheets

Read the clock, write the time, draw the hands

Make a telling time page. Six clear clock faces show times on the hour, on the half hour, or a mix. Your child reads each clock and writes the time, or reads a time and draws the two hands. On the half hour the short hand stands halfway between two numbers, the way it does on a real clock.

How to make your worksheet

  1. Choose the kind of page: write the time, or draw the hands.
  2. Choose times on the hour, on the half hour, or both.
  3. Choose how many pages to print.
  4. Print. Press “New version” for other times.

Two hands

The short hand shows the hour and the long hand shows the minutes. In color the short hand is pink and the long hand is blue. In black and white you tell them apart by their length.

The hour first

Start with times on the hour, where the long hand points straight up to 12. Half hours come next: the long hand points down to 6, and the short hand has moved halfway to the next number.

Good questions

Which times are used?

Every hour from 1:00 to 12:00 and every half hour from 1:30 to 12:30.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. It shows every clock with its hands and its time.

Can I print in black and white?

Yes. Choose “Black and white” under “Print in”. The page uses very little ink.

What ages is it for?

Times on the hour suit kindergarten. Half hours suit first grade.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
