Telling Time (Beginning)
Would you buy it if we could source it or make it ourselves? Enough people saying yes is what makes the attempt worth it.
What Time Is It? in a child's hands
Que Hora Es, the beginning clock work in Spanish. Four sets of real photographs of analogue clocks, twelve faces in each, on the hour and the half hour. Reading a clock face is the same job in any language, so what the Spanish edition adds is the vocabulary that goes with it: the words for hour, half and past, learned alongside the reading rather than after it. The cards are in Spanish. Card stock, full colour, pre cut.
Mathematical Understanding
Develops time-telling skills and numerical recognition through visual matching of analog and digital formats.
Language Development
Introduces Spanish time vocabulary while reinforcing mathematical concepts in a bilingual context.
Visual Discrimination
Enhances ability to distinguish between different clock positions and their corresponding digital representations.
Cultural Awareness
Supports multicultural education by presenting time concepts in Spanish, broadening linguistic exposure.
How to present it
Arrange the analog clock cards in a row at the top of the work surface, then place the corresponding digital time cards in a basket below
- 1Select one analog clock card and examine the position of the hour and minute hands
- 2Look through the digital time cards to find the matching numerical representation
- 3Place the digital card below its matching analog clock
- 4Continue matching until all pairs are complete, then review by reading each time
3 tips for parents
- Point out digital and analog clocks in your home and community, connecting to the card work
- Use Spanish time phrases during daily routines: '¿Qué hora es?' 'Son las dos'
- Create simple matching games using the cards during quiet time at home

Frequently Asked Questions
What age group is Qué Hora Es? designed for?
Qué Hora Es? is designed for children ages 3-6, aligning with the Montessori sensitive period for order and language development. The material grows with the child, starting with simple hour matching and progressing to more complex time concepts.
How does this material teach both time-telling and Spanish?
Each card features analog clock faces paired with digital time displays and Spanish time vocabulary. Children learn to read clocks while naturally absorbing Spanish phrases for telling time, making it an integrated language and mathematics lesson.
What skills do children develop using these cards?
Children develop visual discrimination, time-telling abilities, number recognition, Spanish vocabulary, and mathematical concepts of hours and minutes. The material also enhances concentration and supports the transition from concrete to abstract thinking.
How many cards are included and what times do they cover?
The set includes cards covering key times throughout the day, focusing on hours and half-hours appropriate for beginners. Cards progress from simple on-the-hour times to more challenging half-hour increments.
Can this be used in non-bilingual classrooms?
Yes! While designed as bilingual material, it works excellently for monolingual environments too. Teachers can focus solely on time-telling skills or incorporate the Spanish element as an enrichment activity, depending on their curriculum needs.
