Does anyone have any work station ideas or any good websites for starting telling time? Thank you so much in advance.

A suggestion I found on this site--
I laminated a page of 'minutes' and cut them apart and taped them to the classroom clock. :00 :05 :10 :15 :20......
Now, they can look at the clock and quickly know that the :15 on the 3 means 15 minutes.

That principle is how I learned Roman numerals. While growing up, our living room clock had Roman numerals on it.

I have a center from Lakeshore learning that I really like- it's a three piece "watch"- one strap is the digital time, the other is the word (noon, midnight, quarter after, etc) and the watch face has the time on it. The kids really like it.

I forgot about this too: I made a Time Bingo. Put faces of clocks with times on them on Bingo cards and then play Bingo. I don't think I labeled each column as BINGO- I just randomly placed times on a 12 sq. grid or something. (so times like 12, 12:15, 12:30 and 12:45) I didn't get more indepth that that I don't think. The kids like it
