Watches for Time Activities

Hey Everyone,

Just thought I would share a new idea I had this week while teaching my young students about time. I was making clocks for them with movable hands so they could practice telling the time and one little boy said to me, "Teacher, I don �t like clocks! I like watches!" It made me start to think, and before long I was already on my computer creating and trying to see if i could make a watch the same way I designed the clocks. Sure enough it worked and it was a huge success (even with other teachers haha) If your interested you can get better directions and templates for making these in your own classes here:

The only extra things I used to make these was a pin for the watch hands and Velcro for the wrist bands. Hope this is useful for anyone else teaching students about time. I guess next my students will want a digital clock or one that �s on a smart phone.......hmmmmm....not sure if I can do that....maybe later I �ll try ^_^ Best of luck in class
