The Time (Clothes) Line



Teaching Focus:

To help children develop understandings about words used to describe periods of time.

How to play:

Prepare a number of time words, a piece of string and some pegs.

Divide the time words among the students.

Ask them to put the time words in order from the longest period of time to the shortest period of time.

When the line is assembled, discuss how many of each period of time fits into or makes up a larger period of time.

Alternatively, the children can brain-storm and come up with a list of their own time words.
