English for Kids Step by Step: Telling Time on Clock

I designed a dozen printable worksheets based on my nursery rhyme that I had written to teach my young student to tell the time on a clock in English. The worksheets are colorful and child-appealing. They offer a super easy activity for kids who begin learning English and telling time.

Every worksheet has two text-and-picture parts featuring a four-liner of the nursery rhyme and a clock image part that should be cut out. The clock shows the time from one o'clock to midnight. The teacher asks kids to match a clock part with the correct text-and-picture part. The clock only shows the whole hours without minutes, so the worksheets can be used as one of basic activities at the start of learning time.

My time telling worksheets have the cut-out part.

I wrote the time telling nursery rhyme called "Look at the Clock" a couple of years ago. I have been using it as a simple text to make my English lessons more fun. I have recently decided to incorporate the rhyme into printable worksheets to make it even more child-appealing. So here is the time telling rhyme.

Look at the Clock Rhyme

Look at the clock
It's one o'clock
I take my dog
And go for a walk

Look at the clock
It's two o'clock
I have a dream
To climb a rock

Look at the clock
It's three o'clock
Let's go to a zoo
To see a peacock

Look at the clock
It's four o'clock
I am so sad
I've lost my sock

Look at the clock
It's five o'clock
My dog ate my shoe
Oh, what a shock!

Look at the clock
It's six o'clock
I'm chasing the dog
Down the sidewalk.

Look at the clock
It's seven o'clock
I'm happy again
I've found my sock.

Look at the clock
It's eight o'clock
Streets lights are bright
On our block

Look at the clock
It's nine o'clock
I'll count sheep
The whole flock

Look at the clock
It's ten o'clock
It's time to sleep
Please, don't talk

Look at the clock
It's eleven o'clock
In my dream I see
A boat at the dock

Look at the clock
It goes tick-tock
It is midnight now
And I'm sleeping like a log

And here are the printable worksheets that my fellow EFL and ESL teachers can use too to teach kids how to tell time in English.
