The Über Clock: Customizable Telling The Time Worksheets/Templates

If you want to teach someone to tell the time in a new language, you’ve got to have clocks – lots of them.  It’s not difficult to find worksheets for exactly this purpose, but so many of them are low-quality JPGs, or photocopies of photocopies.  Even the high quality ones are usually pre-customized for you, making it tough to focus on smaller intervals.  In other words, it’s hard to teach your students “It’s 20 minutes to 4 O’Clock” when all of the clocks on your worksheet show increments of hours and half-hours.

That’s why I decided to make my own templates:

1. 

   A high resolution JPG Clock Template with No Arrows

   This file can be used by anyone in any program.  Simple right-click on the file to save it, and then insert it into any document as many times as you like.

2. Photoshop CS3 Clock Template (With Arrows)
   This is the source Photoshop file that I created from scratch.  It comes with arrows on separate layers, and is intended for those with Photoshop to move the arrows around as necessary to create the desired clocks.  The layers are all neatly named and grouped.
3. PDF 9 Clocks: Draw the Arrows for the Indicated Time
   This downloadable worksheet shows 9 clocks with text below indicating the time.  The student’s job is to draw the arrows for the time shown.
4. PDF 9 Clocks: Write the Time Shown By the Arrows
   This downloadable worksheet shows 9 clocks with arrows indicating the time.  The student’s job is to write in the blank the time shown on the clock.
