Support your students in developing time awareness and understanding daily routines with the bright and engaging Times of the Day Clip Cards! This hands-on resource provides a fun and interactive way for students to explore the sequence of the day and identify when common activities typically take place.

The set includes 10 colourful cards featuring everyday activities. Students must decide whether each activity happens in the morning, afternoon, or night, and place a clip or peg on the correct answer. This kinaesthetic approach helps reinforce sequencing and builds connections between classroom learning and real-life experiences.

Times of the Day Clip Cards can be used independently, with a partner, or as part of a small group rotation. The activity is easily adaptable for differentiation and works well as a complement to your time unit. For extended learning and additional practise, pair it with our Times of the Day Sequencing: 3 in a Row Game!
