Some students created some games linked to 'TIME'

The students had to match analogue times to digital times.

Another student created this game where students had to work their way round the board and land on different times. These had to be shown on the clock - if you got it right you could have another turn.


We also created a scavenger hunt around school where the pupils had to solve clues to find locations which spelt out a secret message.
