eeBoo Time Telling Game

it wasnt helpful

I have an older child who was utter garbage at telling analog time and a younger child who needed to learn. I'd tried a couple times to just instruct them, but it wasn't sticking. There is a lot of research stating that games and play help to solidify knowledge better and faster than more "traditional" teaching methods, so I thought we'd give this game a whirl. I gathered those children around when we got the game, played for about 20 minutes, and they were begging to play longer (especially the little one). I had other stuff to get done, but they sat there and played together for a while, and then would come and get the game a couple more times. Next thing I know, I'm being corrected when i say it's 11:30 but it's actually 11:27. Seriously, the game thing works, folks! It's not a game you'll use after they finally get it and get over it, but it's a lasting skill and the game can be passed along to someone else who needs to learn!

I love how it makes learning about time fun and easy. It covers many things they are learning or are to learn in class about time/clock. It was perfect for my second grader. Definitely a fun way to learn and test their skills.

My granddaughters like it

My 5 y.o. likes this game, and it is easy to get the hang of. the clock brads weren't sturdy so the clock hands move easily even after you have put your hands on the correct time. I really like how the cards are varied by level of difficulty and most importantly they have some random time cards like 1:17 to work on those odd times. There aren't a lot of those are but I think we could easily make our own cards to incorporate and get the most from this game. overall I am happy I bought it because I am always looking for clever ways to make learning fun!
