Objective
This game helps students to practice telling the time by having learners move around in a twelve chair circle. Not only does this game make a lesson in time telling more interesting, but it gives the students a chance to stretch their legs and loosen up.
Instructions
1. Arrange twelve chairs in a round circle, and place a coat on one of the chairs to indicate twelve o'clock.
2. Have the class stand outside of the circle, and ask for two volunteers to take a seat inside the circle. You will need to designate the "short hand" and "long hand" person - which can be the differences in sex, height, and so on.
3. Next ask the class "What time is it?". The students standing outside the circle shouts out the time. Repeat this process until you are happy with the classes time telling and pronunciation.
Variations
If you don't want to make a circle of twelve chairs, you can ask twelve learners to form a circle. A person goes into the middle and points with radomly with both arms. You can designate the left arm to be the "little hand" and the right arm to be the "long hand".
