Make sure your preschoolers are able to count to and recognize numbers one through twelve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassage of Time. Review the terms used in measuring the passage of time: year, month, week, day, and finally make sure students understand the concept of an hour. Have students determine how many big numbers are on an analog clock and explain that when the short (or hour) hand moves from one big number to the next, an hour of time has passed. Make it relevant by discussing things that can be done in an hour (e.g. two episodes of Dora the Explorer, etc.). When students are comfortable with hours, move on to minutes, then seconds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog v. Digital. Make sure your students can recognize both analog and digital clocks. Introduce the parts of an analog clock. (In learning to tell time \"on the hour\", students will only need to be aware of the movement of the hour hand, but a working knowledge of the minute hand is also important.) Don't assume that digital clocks present a \"no-brainer\" for telling time. Make sure students understand what each number represents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn understanding of these basic concepts will lay the foundation for confident 'time tellers'!

This game works best as originally designed - a file folder game.\n\n[NOTE: It looks like when the game was printed and assembled at Rockabye Butterfly, the original 4x4 grid was cut apart and may have been pasted to the folder in a different order. After your students complete each individual 2x2 square, it's nice to view the puzzle as a whole, showing them how each row, column, and square has only one of each picture\/number. In the example above, there are several discrepancies that would make this difficult, so be cognizant of the correct layout when cutting and pasting.]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the original puzzle layout from DLTK-Holidays - be sure to visit their site for the download!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-729 \" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/pattys-day-sudoku.jpg\" alt=\"st patrick's day easy sudoku puzzle preschool printable\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003ePhoto Source: www.dltk-holidays.com\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHappy Solving!\n\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-25\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Blog-Signature1.jpg\" alt=\"signature\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SupplyMe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1734105071641,"sku":"A3347","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/products\/Shamrock-Sudoku.jpg?v=1522781701"},{"product_id":"giraffe-play-dough-counting-mat-a3348","title":"Giraffe Play Dough Counting Mat","description":"\u003cfigure class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-733  \" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Giraffe-Play-Dough.jpg\" alt=\"giraffe play dough counting mat preschool printable\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003ePhoto Source: prekinders.com\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed independently or reserved for use in an animal unit {or other relevant unit of study!}, this giraffe play dough counting mat from Karen Cox of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/prekinders.com\/2011\/03\/feed-the-giraffe-mats\/\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003ePreKinders\u003c\/a\u003e would make a great math and fine motor center activity for your preschoolers!
