Teaching Time Telling with a Fun Clock Game

Are you an elementary level learner of English looking to improve your skills in telling the time? Look no further! This game is designed specifically for low-level English learners, aiming to help you learn and practice this essential skill.

The first screen introduces you to the target language, presenting a simple analog clock with a matching time phrase below. Initially, the clock shows 9 o'clock, and the phrase reads 'Nine o'clock'. Your task is to change the time on the clock by moving the hands or using the arrows at the bottom.

As you progress through the game, you'll encounter increasingly precise times, including half past, quarter past, quarter to, five past/to, ten past/to, twenty past/to, and twenty-five past/to. You'll learn common time phrases like 'Twelve thirty' or 'Eight forty-five', which are easy to understand and use.

The mini-game on the second screen is a fun way to practice your new skills. Three clocks will appear above the text pane, each displaying a different time. Your task is to click on the clock that matches the time phrase displayed in the middle pane. If you answer correctly, you'll earn points based on how quickly you selected the correct clock.

But be careful! If you make a mistake, the game is lost, and you'll have to start again from the beginning. The cat, which appears at the bottom left of the screen, will fall off the bridge and return to its starting position. To complete the game, you must choose the correct clock every time.

The game repeats about 20 times, with increasingly precise times being displayed each round. Your goal is to learn and practice telling the time in English by matching time phrases with clocks. With this fun and interactive game, you'll be well on your way to mastering this essential skill. So, let's get started and see how quickly you can tell the time like a pro!
