TELLING THE TIME: A GAME AND A RAP

The commonest way to tell someone the time is to give the minutes first, followed by the preposition to (vor) and past (nach), and then the hour. O’ clock is only used at the hour.
Examples: It’s ten to three. It’s quarter past three. It’s seven o’clock.

GAME

Begin with the teacher and go around the room. The teacher says to the first pupil: ‘Hello __________! Have you got the time?’ The first pupil answers: ‘It’s nine o’clock.’ Then the same pupil turns to the second pupil and says: Hello __________! Have you got the time?’ The second pupil answers by adding five minutes to the first answer. ‘It’s five past nine.’ Continue, going around the room. OPTIONAL: Go around the room again, this time adding only one minute at a time. Remember to use the word ‘minutes’ except with round numbers. Example: It’s six minutes past one.

RAP

‘Hey, Tim! Have you got the time?’
‘It’s quarter past nine.’
‘What’s the time, Sven?’
‘It’s ten past ten.’
‘What time is it, Kevin?’
‘Five past eleven.’
‘See you at seven.’
‘What time is it, Sue?’
‘It’s eight minutes to two.’
‘Have you got the time for me, Lee?’
‘It’s half past three.’
‘Hey, Kate!
It’s getting late.
Have you got the time?’
‘Twenty to eight.’
(Repeat several times!)
‘One, two, three o’clock,
four o’clock – STOP!
Five, six, seven o’clock,
eight o’clock – STOP!
Nine, ten, eleven o’clock,
twelve o’clock – STOP!
Let’s stop the clock tonight!
