Let’s Quiz – Telling the Time: O’Clock & Half Past is a fast-paced, quiz show-style game that turns time-telling into a race to the top of the leaderboard!

In this competitive digital game, students answer questions across multiple rounds to show what they know about reading the time. With each round increasing in point value—one point, double points, and triple points—the pressure builds as players race to collect as many points as possible. At the end of the game, the winner is revealed along with a surprise prize!

Students will read a written time (e.g. “half past two” or “o’clock” times) and match it to the correct analogue clock face. This game helps reinforce visual recognition of time, supports vocabulary development around telling time, and encourages students to connect written and visual formats fluently.

Let’s Quiz – Telling the Time: O’Clock & Half Past is perfect for classroom revision, warm-ups, or end-of-lesson reinforcement. It can be played as a whole-class game using the interactive whiteboard or individually by scanning the QR code on student devices.
