Understanding Time for Kindergarten Children Lesson Plan
Lesson Title:Understanding Time for Kindergarten Children
Lesson Objective: Students will be able to identify and read a clock to the hour and half hour, and understand the concept of time as it relates to daily routines and activities.
Materials:
Introduction: Begin the lesson by asking the students to name different times of the day, such as morning, afternoon, and evening. Write their responses on chart paper. Then, introduce the concept of a clock and how it helps us keep track of time. Show the students the clock and demonstrate how the hands move to indicate the time.
Activity 1: Clock Flashcards. Distribute the clock flashcards to the students and have them work in pairs to match the time on the card to the matching clock face. As they complete the activity, walk around the room and provide feedback and encouragement.
Activity 2: Time Worksheets. Provide the students with worksheets that have pictures of different activities and the corresponding time. Have the students match the activity to the correct time on the clock. For example, “eating breakfast” would match with “7:00 AM.”
Activity 3: Creating a daily schedule. Divide the students into small groups and provide them with chart paper and markers. Have the students brainstorm and create a schedule of their daily activities and the corresponding times. For example, “Wake up at 7:00 AM, eat breakfast at 7:30 AM, go to school at 8:00 AM” etc.
Closure: Review the concepts learned during the lesson by asking the students to tell the time on the clock. Have them also share one thing they learned about time today. Lastly, remind students that time is an important aspect of our lives and we should use it wisely.
Assessment: Observe students during the different activities and note their understanding of the concept of time. Collect the daily schedule chart papers and review them for accuracy and understanding.
Note: This is a basic lesson plan for understanding time for Kindergarten children. You should adjust the activities and materials according to your student’s learning style and abilities.
Additionally, you could include some games and songs that could help the kids to remember the time better and also learn in a fun way.
