Telling Time- 2.MD.7

We started our unit on telling time on Monday.  We talked about the parts of a clock like the face and hands.  We learned about analog and digital clocks.  I told the kids that sometimes you had to "wind" a watch to make it work. They were fascinated!  I just felt old! Haha...,.So anyway, today we played a game with time.  Each kid had a "watch". They decided what time to draw onto their watch.  After everyone had the hands on their watch, I taped it on their wrist.  Next they got a clipboard and their recording sheet and they went to each of their classmates and read their "watch".  They had a great time doing this and they practiced telling time 20 times!  They loved getting up and moving.

 

I would love to hear from you!  What fun, get out of your seat activities do you use with your students?
