Kindergarten Telling Time & Daily Routines Words & Sentences Lesson Plan Example

Topic: Telling Time & Daily Routines

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will be able to tell time using an analog clock.
• Students will be able to identify daily routines and describe the steps involved.

Materials

• Analog clocks
• Pictures of daily routines (e.g. getting ready for bed, waking up, eating lunch, going to the restroom)

Warm-up

• Ask students if they know what time it is.
• Ask students to point to the number on the clock that corresponds to the time they say.
• Continue until all numbers on the clock have been addressed.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the concept of telling time on a clock.
• Show the students how to find the numbers on the clock and use them to determine the time.
• Practice with the students, having them follow your lead as you tell the time on the clock.
• Encourage the students to ask questions if they do not understand anything.

Guided Practice

• Next, show the students how to tell the time on a regular analog clock.
• As you show the students how to tell the time, walk them through the process step by step and have them follow your lead.
• After showing the students how to tell the time on an analog clock, have the students practice with a partner.
• As the students practice, walk around and monitor their progress.
• Help the students as needed and encourage them to ask questions if they do not understand anything.
• After practicing with a partner, have the students work in small groups to create a chart that shows the times on a clock from 0 to 10. Have each group member take a turn showing the time on the clock and writing it down on their chart.
• As the students work, walk around and monitor their progress.
• Help the students as needed and encourage them to ask questions if they do not understand anything.

Independent Practice

• For independent practice, have the students create a time-telling project.
• This could be a poster, a brochure, or any other creative way to display the times on a clock from 0 to 10.
• Have the students use their chart from the previous activity to create their project.
• Encourage the students to be creative and have fun with their project.

Closure

• Have the students share their time-telling projects with the class.
• Review the different ways to tell time on a clock and have the students use their new skills to tell the time on their projects.

Assessment

• Observe the students as they work on their independent practice projects and provide feedback on their ability to tell time accurately on the clocks.
