Blank Clock Faces Worksheets

How can I use these Blank Clock Face Worksheets in my classroom?

Use these teacher-made worksheets to help your children practice telling time on analogue clocks.

Perfect for kids in EYFS through KS1, this pack contains six printable clock faces. We've included hour markers around the outside, but no hour or minute hands, which means you can customise them however you like.

Here are a few ways of using our blank clock face worksheets:

• Laminate the clocks and use a dry-erase marker to draw different times. Then, point to each clock one by one, and invite your class to call out the times you've drawn;

• Have your class make hour and minute hands out of play dough. Then, call out six different times ("quarter past five," or "four o'clock," for example) and invite your students to display them by positioning their hands into the correct position;

• Ask your class to draw what time they have breakfast, lunch, and dinner on our blank clock faces. This is a great way to build children's understanding of time, as well as routines and organisation. 

The blank clock face worksheet is on PDF, making it easy to download and print at the click of a button. There are multiple versions of the worksheet, which means you can tailor the resource to your unique lesson plan! For example, if you're running low on coloured ink, you can print out the black and white version. Or, if you have a mixed ability, you could print out the lower ability version. This one features four blank clock faces, with minute increments. There's also a version that's the same as the main one, but also with minute increments. If you're interested in a Roman numeral version, be sure to check out the 'user request'. Oh - which reminds us, if there's a specific activity you'd like to see from Twinkl, simply leave us a comment! After all, we strive to offer what you need.
