Tips
Parent Tip: Telling time and recognizing special times of the day
Song: “Round the Clock” to the tune “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” (Wee Sing Children's Songs and Fingerplays)
• Use a toy clock or manual alarm clock.
• Choose the times of day you want to sing about (snack time, bed time,...).
• Chant or sing these words while turning the hands of the clock.
Round the clock the hours go,
Sometimes fast and sometimes slow,
Tell me what the two hands say,
They will tell the time of day, (pause while child figures out the time)
It’s 8:00 and time for bed,
Come with me you sleepy head. (make up your own last phrase)

Sometimes fast and sometimes slow,
Tell me what the two hands say,
They will tell the time of day, (pause as class figures out the time)

Let’s sit down and have a treat. (make up your own last phrase)
