- Read the time under the clock.
- Draw the short hand pointing to the hour.

About this worksheet
Blank clock faces with a time underneath. Draw the hands to match.
What kids practice
First graders learn to read a clock with hands when the time is exactly on the hour (3:00) or half past (3:30). They also learn to write the time the way a digital clock shows it.
Watch for
- Mixing up the long hand and the short hand.
- At half past, reading the next hour instead of the one the hand just passed (calling 4:30 "5:30").
- Writing 3:3 instead of 3:30.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full time to the hour and half hour guide for 1st grade.
