Color-wheel Time Clock

Teach your student how to tell time with this color wheel clock. Many students confuse the hour hand when it gets close to the next hour. For example: 5:45 – Often times the student wants to say 6:45 because the hour hand is closer to 6:00. This clock clarifies the confusion by using color coding. Anytime the hour hand is within the hour the color coincides with that hour. So at 5:45 the hour hand would still be in the tan section, the child would see the number 5 is tan. This make learning to tell time so simple that even the struggling student can catch on.

I like to use the Judy clocks because they have gears. When you move the minute hand the hour hand moves, too.  Instructions: 1. Print out the clock. 2. Cut it out. 3. Laminate. 4. Cut a hole in the center (big enough to fit over the hour & minute hand bolt. 5. Unscrew the minute and hour hand on the Judy clock. 6. Place the clock template on top of the bolt and then screw the hands back on.
