How To Prepare Your Kid for The Real World And Lead Happy, Successful Lives

Learning how to tell time

This simple yet ingenious tip will help you teach children to tell time.

• Take 2 paper plates. Write numbers that symbolize minutes (0, 5, 10, 15, etc.) on the first one. Then write numbers from 1 to 12 and make small cuts on the other plate. Put the first plate under the second one.
• Use a pin and 2 paper arrows with the text “hours” and “minutes” to put the plates together.
• Change the position of the arrows and ask a child to read what time it is on the clock.Now you can easily demonstrate the connection between minutes and hours. Just bend the upper section on the clock to show that minutes “hide” under the hours.
