We’ve had this before, and I decided to revisit it again to go along with our Before FIAR: Goodnight Moon.
We talked about the face of the clock again, the long and short hands and the numbers around it. We created our own version of a clock using paper plate, number chips that I cut around ahead of time, and the two hands.
He also worked through the 3-part cards which I made for him to learn the time. We had a couple activities related to this before, but in my son’s case, nomenclature cards are really his favorite. He just loves to match! On a personal note, I love nomenclature cards because they’re such an affective way for a child to learn. We only did the hour... for I am not sure yet if he’s ready to understand the half-hour. My son finished the work in a breeze, so I guess I might introduce the half-hour and quarter in the next few weeks.
Here’s another activity which we did after he finished the nomenclature cards, I would say the time and he’ll steer the hands on the proper position. He enjoyed it to bits!
