Blast off and explore the universe of time! In this interactive digital game, students travel through galaxies by reading and interpreting digital clocks showing a variety of times in 5-minute increments. With each correct answer, they collect space objects and earn badges for their cosmic collection.

Students will practise reading digital clocks and identifying the correct time to the nearest 5 minutes. The game helps build fluency in understanding time and reinforces accurate reading of digital formats - a key skill for everyday life.

As they move through the galaxies, their space badge tally grows - encouraging focus, accuracy, and engagement with every question!

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Read and interpret digital clocks to the nearest 5 minutes
• ✅ Strengthen fluency with time concepts and language
• ✅ Build confidence in recognising and expressing digital time
• ✅ Develop skills for connecting time-telling to real-world contexts
• ✅ Engage in visual, interactive learning through badge-based progression

How to Play:

1. Students are shown a time in words and asked to select the correct matching digital clock display.
2. A correct answer earns them a space object and warps them to the next galaxy.
3. Each object collected contributes to their final badge tally.
4. The game continues through a series of 5-minute increment time questions.
5. At the end, students are shown the full set of badges they earned on their space journey.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during time-telling units to build fluency with digital time formats
• 💡 Ideal for Years 2-4 students practising time in 5-minute increments
• 💡 Add to rotations or centres for interactive time-telling practise
• 💡 Extend learning with real-world time matching activities or schedule reading tasks

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six characters before the game begins
• 💛 Select the number of players or teams at the start of the game to suit individual, paired, or group play
• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to play as a homework or revision task
