Telling Time to the Hour with Tom Turkey Activities and Worksheets

Its Turkey Time! Your grade 1 and grade 2 learners are going to enjoy working their way through these learning activities with a fun turkey theme. This product consists of a turkey craftivity, 8 corresponding worksheets, and a bonus learning game. The focus of each worksheet and activity is telling time to the hour. Learners will start out making their very own analog clock, which in the end will look like a colorful turkey. There are 3 options for a clock face, 2 of which will engage your learners in adding their own numbers to the clock face. After completing the turkey craftivity, learners will use their clocks to help them tell time on the worksheets. Designed for differentiation and to keep your learners engaged, the worksheets present with a variety of skill levels and types of tasks. Your learners will cut and paste, match, color, write digital times, and draw hands on analog clocks. To round out the product, learners will have the opportunity to play a learning game. In this activity, they will identify an hour presented in digital time and display that time on their analog turkey clocks. It’s a great, hands-on way for them to make connections with the concepts practiced in the worksheets. The learning game and worksheets are available in a color version, as well as a black & white version. You’ll also find an answer key is provided. Although the game does require initial prep work, it will then be ready for year-over- year use. Most of the worksheets are PRINT and GO, with the exception of the two cut and paste activities. These learning activities will make a wonderful addition to your Fall math curriculum and get your learners ready to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday.
