Happy Clock Reading

Let the baby know and recognize the clock, know the hour and half.

1) Ability cultivation:introduce the clock, the hours, and half-past time and enhance the child's reading of the clock so as to lay a good foundation for the child to tell and use time.

2) Theoretical basis: time is a very mysterious thing for young children, because it cannot be seen or touched. 3-to-4-year-old children are capable of understanding morning, noon and evening, and can link them with their life. 4-to-6-year-old children have a better sense of time and can begin learning to tell time.

3) Game objective: the game uses explanation and interaction to give children an initial understanding of the clock and help build a sense of time. Concise explanation will make the children quickly understand the structure and characteristics of watches and clocks, as well as the concept of the hours and half-past time. Interesting interactive games help children understand the characteristics of the clock through continued exploration, link their daily life activities with time and getting the initial sense of time so as to lay the foundation for future time management.

4) Guide for parents: mom and dad can closely link their child's life activities with time, such as: "at 5:00, that is, long needle pointing to 12, short needle pointing to 5, mom can take you out to play." And, "You see, it's near 8 o'clock, time to get up!" These can help children better understand and perceive time.
