Nothing is more timeless than teaching our kids how to tell the time on a clock (get the pun?!). My kids’ love for clocks started at a young age, when I bought them this wooden shape sorting clock. Now that they are older, and showing an interest in learning how to read a clock, I put together this lesson plan, complete with free, printable worksheets, clock writing prompts and even clock arts and crafts projects! Before we begin, don’t forget to join our Facebook Group and “like” our Facebook Page, so you won’t miss out on any of our educational fun!

📚 What Time Is It, Mr. Crocodile?

If you have never read What Time Is It, Mr. Crocodile? by Judy Sierra, then you are in for a treat! It is the perfect reading component for a clock lesson plan! If you do not own the book yet, while you are waiting for your copy to arrive, you can listen to it being read out loud here.

Then, make your own “learn how to tell time” story with this fantastic, free, printable clock book!

✏ Clock Writing Prompt

For the writing component of our clock lesson plan, pick from one of the following.

  • Write a story about a clock that has a special power to do or tell people something other than just time. Let your creativity shine through!
  • Write a poem about telling time, a clock, or just time in general!
