Layout of the classroom

Space in the middle of the classroom

Desks-chairs by the wall

A   circle   that   has   been   made   by   the   teacher   in the middle    of    the    class,  with   the  chalk , spacious enough for 2 students to lie down

Teacher has also marked the hours of the clock around the circle.

Phase 1

Students begin to count, in successive order, the clock’s hours (1,2,3,…12) and the minutes of the hour (5,10,15….60 ) and each time the teacher shows with the stick the hours and minutes on the ground clock.

Teacher gives  the 24 cards with hour and minutes to the students and they place them on their clothes with a paper clip .

Phase 2

Now teacher says that it will randomly say an hour (e.g. 2:10) and the students which have the corresponding cards should lie on the  ground  clock,  showing with their bodies the time.

The other students stand around the circle and consider   whether the two students have taken the right places on the clock and make corrections if needed. Then  they    repeat the hour  that children have formed with their bodies.

This repeated several times and this phase ends when all   students  have   participated.

Phase 3

In  this  phase  two students that play the clock indicators decide    secretly   a   random   hour   and   they    place   their   bodies on the hour and minute of the ground clock. The other students must find the time that has been formed by the two lying students.

This   is   repeated   many    times ,   so that  all the couples of  the  students have played the clock indicators.

Phase 4

The   class   returns   to   its   first   form and the students sit at their desks and open their books on the corresponding chapter.  Teacher has not many things to explain from this chapter as the students have gain a deeper understanding of the clock hours through that game.
