- Minute practice: turn on the minute numbers outside to count by fives.

Questions people ask
How do I print a clock face?
Pick your options above, then press Print. The clock prints on its own, large and centred on the page. You can also download it as a PNG image or an SVG file to use in worksheets and slides.
What are the parts of a clock face?
The dial (the face itself), the numbers 1 to 12 for the hours, the minute marks (60 small ticks, with a bigger one every 5 minutes), the short hour hand, the long minute hand and, on many clocks, a thin second hand. All the hands turn around the centre pin.
Why do clocks in ads show 10:10?
At 10:10 the hands make a V shape that frames the brand name under the 12, looks like a smile, and doesn't hide any numbers. That's why it's the default time on this page too.
Why do some clocks use IIII instead of IV?
Most clocks with Roman numerals write four as IIII. It balances the VIII on the other side of the dial and is easier to read upside down at the bottom. The Roman option here follows that tradition.
How do I teach kids to read a clock face?
Start with o'clock and half past using the hands, then add the minute numbers outside the face (5, 10, 15…) so children can count by fives. Our learn to tell time page has practice games.
