The Clock Game - Learn and Practice Reading a Clock
Instructions:
Use this game to learn how to tell time and practice your clock-reading skills.
This game can be played using a mouse or a touchscreen.
Press the Play Game button to begin playing the game.
A time to select will appear above the face of the clock.
With your mouse or finger, click/tap and hold the hour or minute hand (click/tap on the dotted grey circle at the end of the hand) and rotate the hand until you have reached the correct spot on the clock.
If you can't hit exactly the right spot, you can fine-tune the hands using the minus and plus icons below the clock.
When you think you have the right answer, click/tap the "Submit Answer" button below the clock.
For each correct answer, you will be awarded points. Your score is displayed on the left side of the Results Bar that appears below the clock.

Each time you correctly answer 5 times, you will advance to the next level. Your current level is indicated in the Results Bar below the clock.
The timer is represented to the right of the score in the Results Bar. As time passes, the bar will get shorter.
If you have not submitted an answer when the time runs out, you will receive a "strike".
Also, for each incorrect answer, you will receive a strike. After three strikes, your game is over. The number of strikes you have received is indicated on the right side of the Results Bar below the clock.
Click the Settings button to adjust your preferences for the game.
