Help students build time-telling skills with this engaging Digital & Analog Clock Time Match Activity! In this hands-on game, students will practise matching analog clock faces to their corresponding digital times. It’s a fun and practical way to reinforce time recognition and build confidence in telling time to the hour and minute.

The set includes 36 different times, each represented as both an analog clock and a digital time (12-hour clock). With 72 cards in total, the activity offers ample opportunity for matching practise, independent work, or collaborative learning. The cards can be printed onto coloured cardstock to create an inviting, low-prep resource that looks great without using lots of coloured ink.

Digital & Analog Clock Time Match Activity is a versatile addition to your maths rotations, time-telling units, or fast finisher options. The simple straight-cut cards make prep quick and easy, and the activity can be used again and again to consolidate students’ understanding of both digital and analog time formats.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Develop understanding of digital and analog time
• ✅ Strengthen time-telling skills and time recognition
• ✅ Build matching and problem-solving abilities
• ✅ Practise working with a 12-hour clock format
• ✅ Support independent and collaborative learning

What’s Included:

• 36 analog clock cards
• 36 matching digital time cards (12-hour clock)
• 72 cards in total for matching practise

Materials Needed:

• Printed clock cards (onto white or coloured cardstock for durability and visual appeal)
• Scissors (simple straight cuts for easy prep)
• Zip-lock bags or small containers for storing cards

How to Use:

1. Print the analog and digital clock cards onto coloured cardstock or paper of your choice.
2. Cut the cards along the straight lines and organise them into matching sets.
3. Students match each analog clock face with its corresponding digital time.
4. Use as an independent activity, small group game, or as part of a maths rotation.
5. Store cards in labelled zip-lock bags or containers for easy reuse.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during maths rotations to reinforce time-telling skills.
• 💡 Incorporate into a time-focused unit or lesson sequence on analog and digital clocks.
• 💡 Pair students up to promote collaborative learning and discussion.
• 💡 Use as a fast finisher activity to provide extra practise for students needing additional support.

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Print the cards onto coloured cardstock to make them visually inviting and more durable without using excess coloured ink.
• 💛 Model the matching activity for younger learners before independent practise.
• 💛 Extend the activity by timing students to see how quickly they can match all the pairs accurately.
• 💛 Differentiate by starting with a smaller set of times and gradually adding more as students’ skills grow.

Digital & Analog Clock Time Match Activity is a practical and low-prep way to build time-telling confidence and accuracy. It’s an ideal addition to any maths program focused on understanding and working with time!
