at 11 o'clock.)
Draw a clock on the board. Set the hands at ten o'clock and ask: What time is it? Elicit: It's
ten o'clock. Have pupils repeat after you.
Change the hands to show nine and eight o'clock. Practice the structures What time is it?
and It's ___ o'clock. by having pupils repeat the question and answer as you change the
time on the clock.
Write it's on the board and review with pupils that this is a combination of two words it and
is, that are combined with an apostrophe that replaces the letter i of the word is.
Show the clock at 11 o’clock. Have pupils repeat after you: It's eleven o'clock. Have the
clock show 12 o’clock. Again repeat the structure a few times.
Have pupils do the matching exercise independently and compare their answers.
Play "What time is it?" Divide the class into two groups. Choose one pupil from each
group to come to the front of the class. Give each pupil a marker, telling them to wait until
you give them instructions to draw the time. Have the whole class chant: What time is it?
What time is it? What time is it now? Respond by saying: It is six o'clock. 1, 2, 3, GO! Now
signal both pupils to draw a clock that shows six o'clock. The first one to finish drawing the
clock with the correct time wins a point for his/her team. Repeat, practicing all times from
1 - 12 o'clock, each time with two different pupils.
For a more challenging game, teach half and quarter hour times (one thirty, one fifteen,
one forty-five) and play as above.

The clock has two hands,
It tells you the time.
It's one o'clock, it's one o’clock,
And I feel fine.
