Telling Time: Build a Simple Daily Schedule

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: sequencing familiar events with whole-hour and half-hour times

1

Choose a time for breakfast from 7:00 or 7:30.

2

Draw a clock for a 8:00 school or learning start.

3

Place lunch after the morning event.

4

Write one after-school event at a whole or half hour.

5

Put your events in earliest-to-latest order.

6

Tell an adult which event comes next and read its time.

Grown-up guide
  1. Use the child’s actual routine where possible; do not require a fixed school schedule.
  2. Limit choices to whole and half hours so sequencing remains the teaching goal.
  3. Discuss that schedules can vary while clock notation stays consistent.
