Instructional Ideas

• Play a music video to hook learners at the start of your lesson
• Display the 24 hour clock and the 12 hour clock, then discuss when morning, afternoon, evening, and night fall 
• Invite families to sing the song before bed to wish their child goodnight to reinforce the concept

Classroom Considerations

• The timetable shown uses a 24 hour clock system 

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• Lyrics are provided so enthusiastic singers can sing along 
• Pictures showcase how the the world generally looks at different times of day 

Cons

• The song runs through its lyrics only once before having to replay it
