Activities:  You can also use your arms like the hands on a clock.  Extend both arms over your head.  On “one,” bring right arm down to the position of “one” on a clock.  On “two,” bring right arm down to position of “two,” and so forth as you sing.

How about a “human clock” to reinforce telling time?  Write the numerals 1-12 on paper plates.  Arrange these on the floor to resemble a clock.  Cut out 2 hands from construction paper.  Attach one to the end of a ruler (hour hand) and one to the end of a yardstick (minute hand).  Children arrange the hands on the floor to simulate the hands on a clock.
