Free Telling The Time Worksheets
Learning how to tell the time takes practice, and it’s a practical skill every beginner English learner needs. These worksheets give students practice reading clock faces, writing times in English, and using common time expressions like It’s three o’clock and It’s half past six. They’re ideal for lessons that focus on the question “What time is it?” and for reviewing both the hour and minute hand. Preview and download the worksheets below.
Draw the Clock – Hours
For learners just starting with the clock, this worksheet focuses on one o’clock to twelve o’clock. Students see the digital time, draw the hands on a blank clock, and write the time in words.
Draw the Clock – Minutes
A step up from the first sheet, this one includes times with both hours and minutes (e.g., 3:15, 7:45). Students draw the correct clock face and write the time in English.
Clock-Sentence Matching Worksheet
Students read a sentence like “It’s three o’clock” and match it to the correct clock picture.
Telling the Time Bingo Worksheet
Students draw different times on nine blank clocks (between one o’clock and nine o’clock). Play bingo by asking “What time is it?” and responding with times from the grid.
Telling the Time Board Game
A partner activity for asking and answering “What time is it?” Students take turns flicking an eraser or counter on the game board. If it lands on a clock, they create a short dialogue with their partner.
Additional Telling the Time Activity
Once your students have had enough practice with the worksheets, try this telling the time review activity video. Students see a clock face and answer “What time is it?” by choosing from two options. The video includes simple times with just hours (e.g., “It’s five o’clock”) as well as more advanced expressions like “It’s three thirty” and “It’s quarter past four.” You can pause the video after each question to have students repeat the answer together for extra speaking practice.
