Clock Parts and Hours

Help the crew get ready for a busy day. Use the clock clues to read and show times to the hour. On an analogue clock, the short hand is the hour hand and the long hand is the minute hand.

Meet the clock

Start by learning the parts of an analogue clock.

1.Match each clock part to its job.
  • Hour hand
  • Minute hand
  • Clock face
  • Clock numbers
  • The numerals from 1 to 12
  • The round part that holds the hands and numbers
  • The shorter hand; it shows the hour
  • The longer hand; at an exact hour it points to 12
2.The crew is checking the clock before leaving. Which hand tells them the hour?
  • The short hand
  • The long hand
  • The numbers

Read the time

At an exact hour, the minute hand points to 12. Read the short hand to find the hour.

3.The clock shows the crew’s morning start time. What time is it? Write your answer using “o’clock”.
121234567891011
4.The crew’s next clock has its short hand pointing to 9 and its long hand pointing to 12. What time is shown?
121234567891011
5.A clock shows exactly 12 o’clock. Where should the short hand and long hand point?
121234567891011
6.Choose every time that is written correctly using “o’clock”.
  • 3 o’clock
  • 8 o’clock
  • 15 o’clock
  • 11 o’clock
  • 6 o’clock

Help the crew set the clocks

Draw the hands carefully: the minute hand should be long and point to 12 for an exact hour. The hour hand should be shorter.

7.Set this clock to 6 o’clock. Draw a clock face in the box, then draw both hands in the correct places.
8.The crew has four daily jobs. Match each job to a sensible time.
  • Wake up for school
  • Have lunch
  • Eat dinner
  • Go to bed
  • 12 o’clock midday
  • 8 o’clock at night
  • 6 o’clock in the evening
  • 7 o’clock in the morning
9.True or false: When the time is 3 o’clock, the short hand points to 3 and the long hand points to 12.
