Time - Learn to tell the time with this simple step by step guide. Watch the mouse run up the clock when you answer correctly - educational fun for children of 2-8 years old.

Time is an educational program for children of 3-10. Three detailed sections lead the child step by step through the essential parts of telling the time. Each section begins with a few examples, and then asks questions to ensure the child has understood the subject. Large letters and a large, clear clock face are used throughout, to make this program easy to use for even the youngest child.

PART 1 - Two examples are shown, with the time above the clock. The child is then asked to stop the clock at a given time (use any key to stop the clock). Correct answers are rewarded with a mouse. When 10 mice have been scored, the computer will play 'Hickory Dickory Dock' and a mouse will run up the clock. The program will then move on to the next section.

PART 2 - The child is asked to type in the time shown on the clock. Press RETURN after each answer. If a typing error is made then press 'O' and re-enter.

PART 3 - A time is shown then the time one hour later is shown. This is then repeated. The child must then stop the block one hour after the time shown.

PART 1 - The minute hand ticks through the half hour. A beep is heard every five minutes and every 15 minutes that quarter is shaded. The child is then asked to type in the minutes past shown on the clock.

PART 2 - Part 1 is repeated, but for minutes TO.

PART 3 - The child is asked to stop the clock at the times shown.

PART 1 - Six examples of times are shown and their digital equivalents explained. The clock then ticks through an hour.

PART 2 - The child is asked to stop the clock at the time shown. This is then repeated, but the child must stop the digital clock.

When each section is completed, a grandfather clock is drawn, and a mouse will run up and down while 'Hickory Dickory Dock' plays.
