Clock Face Templates

A collection of clock face templates for teaching the time

In this collection, you can find a range of helpful clock face templates to support you when teaching your students how to tell the time. With a printable clock face, your pupils will quickly learn how to read analogue and digital clocks, how to measure time, and how to solve mathematical problems involving time. These clock face templates are also a great tool for some hands-on learning. Your pupils could make their own clock faces and then move the hands to different times. This is a fantastic and interactive way for them to learn - and they're much more likely to remember what they've learnt too. You can use a printable clock face to demonstrate different times of the day to children at the front of the class. All that's left for you to do is print off as many copies as you need. Then, simply hand them round to your students and let them practise. 

How can I use these clock faces?

These versatile clock face templates can be used in a number of ways. As well as being great for teaching demonstrations, you could also laminate them, so that your students can practise drawing on the hands for different times as many times as they like! You could also use them for some fun games and activities. Try calling out a time and asking everyone to hold up the answer on their clock face template. Use them to play bingo or have a telling the time treasure hunt! You could also create a beautiful telling the time display for your maths corner, filled with clock faces. This would be a great reference point and boost children's confidence as they learn to tell the time. You can use these clock face templates in the classroom or for homework, and they're also a handy tool for anyone who's teaching children at home. If you're not sure which ones to go for, here's some that we've handpicked for you:

• These Worksheets are a great way for kids to have a go at drawing clock faces themselves. Simply tell them different times, and then they'll have to draw the hands onto the clock face.
• These Blank Analogue Clock Faces would be a wonderful interactive activity for your pupils. They can cut-out the hands and add them to the clocks.
• This Clock Face with Minutes is great for helping children to understand how minutes are represented on an analogue clock.

Learning to tell the time

According to the English National Curriculum, in Year 1 students will begin learning to measure the time in hours, minutes and seconds. They'll also learn to compare and describe the time in terms of quicker, slower, earlier, later etc. In Year 2, students move on to sequencing intervals of time and learning to tell the time in intervals of five minutes. Learning to tell the time is a practical skill that students can apply outside the classroom. Why not use these helpful clock face templates to help your children practise telling and writing the time at home? Using a printable clock face is one of (if not the) the best ways to teach children how to tell the time. It gives them a practical example that they'll use every day for the rest of their lives.
