【實用教育app】Tell the Time FREE|最夯免費app-gigacircle

An educational game to teach students how to tell the time, suitable for Mathematics students from grade 1 onwards and those studying English as a second language. This game uses 23 photos of clocks to teach useful phrases such as "one o'clock", "half past five", "quarter to six", "twenty past eight" or "ten to three".

Students hear a time spoken and choose the matching photo. After six right in a row, Race Mode starts automatically. It asks questions at speed to test the students' memory and comprehension of the times just covered, before continuing with new times. At the end of the race, students can see how well they have done relative to their other races. The game gradually focuses on any times that the students have difficulty recognizing, and speeds up as competence is gained.

By contrast to Race Mode, Story Mode slowly introduces new times by saying them as the photos are shown, allowing students to quietly look, listen and learn.

The game is controlled by on-screen gestures which are simple to demonstrate and easy to use, and the game can be played without voice prompts.
