Today a few of the students began practicing telling time by the hour, which is a kindergarten SOL [K.8], using the Apples in Hour Hands app. The game offers both digital and analog time. The children are to read the clock on the tree (analog clock) and then match the apples (digital clock) with the correct time. Players must move the iPod left and right to then get the apple into the bucket, 12 times. This game has 3 levels: kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade. The first grade level offers hour and half an hour times, while second grade challenges the player with quarter after, and quarter of, as well as, hour and half an hour times.
First match the digital clock (on the tree) to the digital clock (on an apple).
The player must move the iPod right to left to get the apple into the bucket.
Yay! Scored a goal :)
Features that I like:
- it is not a timed game
- it provides both digital and analog clocks
- it is grade level appropriate
- simple graphics and sounds effects
My cooperating teacher and I are planning to implement this game into our math centers tomorrow. Check back for some more pictures!
