_______________’s Timely Schedule
Time After Time After Time The next few pages can be used in a math tub and can be played a couple of different ways. You can use it as a three way matching memory game with two players. Or it can be played alone as an organizational game with a recording sheet. Either way, print off the card sheets and cut apart. You will find hour and half hour sets. Store in a bag or envelope.
Time After Time After Time Play with a partner. Lay cards face down in front of you. Take turns turning over three cards at a time. If the cards show the same time, the player keeps the cards. If not, turn cards back over. Next player takes a turn. When all matches have been made, the player with the most cards wins. Game option 1

Single player- Sort and organize cards to find the matching “time trios.” Fill in the blanks on the recording page. Game option 2

Use the next 16 pages to create a life-size clock. I like to use hula hoops for the round shape. Place it on the floor. Then place the round numbers on the inside of the hula hoop and the hands counting by fives on the outside. Use the strips and small hands to make
hands for the clock. Voila! A manipulative
classroom size clock! See Picture!
HOUR HAND
MINUTE HAND
Cut out hands and glue each one to a black strip. Use for large
clock.
