Hello, my dear, spooky colleagues & parents!
This short post will share some ideas on how you can use the Halloween telling time worksheets in your classroom or home to practice sight words!
Let’s practice telling time – Halloween mode!
Write the time shown on the Halloween clocks. Practice numbers, saying the time, and holding a pencil! Name the Halloween sight words behind the clocks.
👉 Extend the game by:
- Telling a spooky story – what happened at the specific time?
- Talk about your daily routines;
- Share what did you do at that specific time yesterday;
- Talk about the future and say what are you going to do at that specific time on Halloween.
- Guess the object on the back of the clock;
- Spell the names of the images behind the clock!
Some tips on how to tell the time in English
Use ‘quarter’ for 15 minutes before or after the hour
At X:15 and X:45, we can use the expressions ‘quarter past’ and ‘quarter to’. Using these expressions sounds much more natural to a native speaker than ‘fifteen minutes past’ or ‘fifteen minutes to’. As with ‘half past’ we can only use these with the 12-hour clock.
We only have a ‘half past, never a ‘half to’.
Unlike many other languages, in English we use ‘half past’ to talk about any time ending in ‘:30’. After that we start looking forward and use ‘to’. So, 6:30 is ‘half past six’ and 6:31 is 29 minutes to seven. We also only use ‘half past’ with the 12-hour clock.

TRY TO USE DRY ERASE POCKETS SO THAT YOU DON’T WASTE PAPER AND THAT YOU CAN REUSE THE MATERIALS AGAIN. Thank you!
