Telling Time Printable (8.5x11)
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Telling Time Printable (8.5x11)" is written for Kindergarten (Ages 5-6). Children a grade either side can use it too: younger ones with an adult reading it aloud, older ones as a quick refresher.


A telling-time reference poster showing a clock face with hour and minute hands labeled, useful for a math wall or quick-check resource. Part of our telling time collection.
How do I use this resource?
Post the anchor chart where your Kindergarten class can see it during math time, or print individual copies for desks and take-home folders. Point to the poster whenever you introduce a new time-telling skill, from the hour hand to five-minute intervals. Kids can also use it as a self-check while practicing on a real or play clock. At home, keep it near a real clock so your child can compare the picture to the real thing.
What students will practice
- Gives Kindergarten students a clear visual reference for reading a clock face and telling time.
- Builds the connection between hour and minute hands and the numbers they point to.
- Works as a wall anchor chart or a personal reference during telling-time practice.

What is the Telling Time Printable (8.5x11)?
⌄
This telling-time collection gives Kindergarten teachers and parents reference posters and an anchor chart showing a clock face with the hour and minute hands clearly labeled. Some versions are built as classroom anchor charts meant to stay posted throughout a time-telling unit, while others work as a single-page reference kids can keep at their desk. The visuals focus on how the two hands work together rather than drilling specific times. Pair any of them with real practice on a play clock or the classroom clock to make the connection concrete.
Can I use the Telling Time Printable (8.5x11) at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten time, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
What is on this telling time printable?
⌄
A clock reference for 8.5 by 11 paper, showing the face and how the hands work. It suits a wall near where math happens, or a desk copy while your child is working on time.
Should a kindergartener be telling the time?
⌄
Not formally. Kindergarten works on the language of time, morning, afternoon, before, after, and on recognizing a clock as a tool. Reading a clock to the hour is a first grade expectation, so a chart now is exposure rather than instruction.
Why is the analogue clock so hard for children?
⌄
Two hands measure different things at different speeds on the same numbers. The 3 means three o'clock for one hand and fifteen minutes for the other. Naming that difficulty out loud helps more than repeating the practice.
How many Kindergarten telling time resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are telling time resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten students, roughly ages 5-6. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these telling time resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
