First Grade Telling Time Activities & Lessons

Posted on January 3, 2021January 3, 2021

Teaching first grade kids how to tell time can be a challenge. Before teaching time, it might be a good idea to teach them fractions.  Once they’ve mastered fractions, it will be easier to teach them what whole, half, and quarter hours mean.

It is also a good idea to both a digital clock and an analog clock for your lessons.

Lesson Plan

If you’re not sure where to start, you can get great ideas from these lesson plans.

  • Lesson: Better Lesson
  • Lesson: Thought Co
  • Resource: Telling Time with Fractions

Song

I recommend starting every lesson about time with the first song listed below.  It helps reinforce the concepts in a fun way.  The second song can be used for a telling time activity after the concept of time is understood.

  • Song: Let’s Learn About the Clock (Jack Hartmann)
  • Song: Hip Hop Around the Clock (Jack Hartmann)
