Unit 7
Activity 1 Look, listen and say.   
5 min
Objective: to introduce the time
Ask the pupils to look at the clocks and guess what time they 
are showing. elicit the answers. Then read the times aloud or 
play the DVD and have the pupils repeat after you/the DVD in 
chorus, in rows and in pairs.
Activity 2 Look and do.     
8 min
Objectives:  to introduce the time;
 
to enable pupils to use their bodies to demonstrate 
time in hours and half hours.
STEP 1: show the pupils an ordinary clock (the toy or the 
classroom clock). Ask how many big numbers are on the clock. 
elicit the answers. Then point to the hour hand (short hand). Tell 
them that when the hour hand moves from one number to the 
next, one hour has passed.
After that point to the minute hand (long hand). Tell them 
that when the minute hand moves from one tick mark to the 
next, one minute has passed.
STEP 2: show them how the long hand on the ordinary clock 
moves faster than the short hand - it is moving by minutes. 
When it is at 0 minutes, it will be right up at the top, by the 
12. (This is hard for some kids to understand.) have some pupils 
come up and make the long hand move quickly around the circle 
to reach the 12 and zero minutes several times.
STEP 3: have the pupils stand up. have them use one arm to 
show where the long clock hand will be when it is at zero min-
utes. Their hands should be straight up above their heads. Just 
like they did earlier, have them move this hand rapidly around an 
imaginary circle to represent what the minute hand does.
Then have them imitate the 3:00 short hand. Using their un-
used arm, have them put this out to the side so that they are imi-
tating the hands of the clock. Repeat with 6:00 (do the ordinary 
clock first) then 9:00, then 12:00. both arms should be straight 
above their heads for 12:00.
STEP 4: Change the clock to be 3:30 and show the pupils what 
this looks like. Move the minute hand halfway around the clock 
to 6 while children count by fives.
Ask in mother tongue:
how many minutes have passed? 
Where does the minute hand point?

Unit 7
Where does the hour hand point? 
What time is it?  
Write three thirty and 3:30 on the board. have the pupils 
repeat ‘three thirty’ after you.
Continue moving the minute hand around the clock to 12 
while children count by fives.
Ask: 
how much time has passed? 
What’s the time now? 
Where are the minute hand and the hour hand? 
After that have the pupils use their bodies to imitate 3:30, 
then 6:30, then 9:30 as they did in step 3. Then ask for volun-
teers to come up to the front of the class and make a time with 
their bodies for other pupils to guess. You can also play the DVD 
to show this.
