Telling Time Tower: Telling Time Game for Grades 1‑3

Set the clock hands to crack the vault and climb the tower.

Climb a ten-floor tower by setting the hour and minute hands of a vault clock to the right time. Practice hours and half hours, five-minute times, and times to the minute, then solve elapsed-time puzzles across the hour and across noon: find the end time, the start time, or how many minutes passed.

What kids practise

Telling Time Tower gives students repeated, low-pressure practice with telling time, analog clocks, and elapsed time. It is written for grades 1-3, with levels that let younger and older players start at the right difficulty. Every question is generated fresh, so a replay is never the same, and a wrong answer shows the correct one so the round teaches as well as tests.

How it plays

Controls: Drag or tap the clock face to move a hand (grab a hand to pick it), or press 1 for the hour hand, 2 for the minute hand, Space to switch, Left/Right arrows to move it (Shift = 15 minutes), Enter to open the vault; number keys 1-4 answer multiple choice; P pauses, M mutes.

It works with a keyboard, a trackpad or a touch screen, so it runs on school Chromebooks, tablets and phones.
