¡Hola!

Time telling is a great way not only to learn to tell time in Spanish but also practice numbers from 0-60. In fact I usually start this unit by doing a mini unit on numbers and this helps greatly. Even though analog clocks will probably be a thing of the past soon, I continue to teach to tell time on them. I think this is good for one’s brain , the same as looking for words in a paper dictionary.

So to start here are two charts/vocabulary lists with time telling. The first one is for younger students (K-3), the second one for upper elementary (4-6).

This is a graphic to practice telling time orally. I designed it especially to use in my remote classes:

I created the following oral and written telling time activity for older students: 5th-6th grade and higher. You can the oral one for younger students too:

Then you can have older students write the times out here:

The worksheet coming up is for second and third graders. It allows them to practice analog clocks by drawing the hands and writing the times in. Be sure to practice orally before having them do these:
