How this product aligns with the EYLF
Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Tell Time Flip Chart provides a hands-on resource that encourages children to explore the concept of time through play. By manipulating the colour-coded moveable hands, children can engage in inquiry-based learning as they experiment with different times and develop an understanding of both analogue and digital time formats.
Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product supports children’s early mathematical skills by providing a visual and interactive way to learn about time. As children use the flip charts, they can practice problem-solving by setting specific times and discussing the relationships between the clock face and the digital display, fostering critical thinking and numeracy skills.

Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas
Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Set up a dedicated time-telling corner where children can freely explore the flip charts, encouraging independent learning and peer interactions around the concept of time. Integrate the flip charts into a daily routine where children can practice telling the time as part of a morning meeting or transition activity.
Play-Based Activity Ideas
Organise a time-telling game where children take turns setting the clock hands to a specific time while others guess the time being shown, promoting social interaction and communication. Create a storytime session where children can use the flip charts to illustrate times mentioned in stories, enhancing their understanding of time in context.
Provocation Ideas
Introduce a challenge where children must create a daily schedule using the flip charts to represent different activities at specific times, encouraging them to think about time management. Use the flip charts during a science experiment to time different activities, allowing children to measure and compare durations in a practical setting.
