Games
Pin up each clock onto the whiteboard. Put blue tack on each black area of the clock. (The numbers need to stick to this so use plenty.) Divide the class into two teams. Allocate one colour clock each. Copy and cut out enough hours (black numbers) and minutes (red numbers) for each clock. Ie one set each. Tt then yells out a time. Students need to select the correct hours and minutes and stick it onto the clock. The team that has the correct time first gets a point for their team. The team with the most points in the end is the winner. (Tt saying the times can be replaced with confident students.)
