about

Time is a notoriously difficult concept for children to grasp. This simple and fun song will help them to learn about quarter past, half past, quarter to and o'clock.

'This a great song which got my Year 1 class thinking about where the hands are on the clock at different times. They love to sing it and we have put our own actions to it. Thanks!' KS1 teacher on TES.

Great for:
Early Years Foundation Stage / Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy / Time
KS1 / Maths / Measuring / Time
KS2 / Maths / Measuring / Time

lyrics

What’s the time? What’s the time?
What’s the lemon and lime?
What’s the time? What’s the time? What’s the time?

What’s the time? What’s the time?
What’s the rhythm and rhyme?
What’s the time? What’s the time? What’s the time?

When it’s quarter past something, it’s easy to see
The big, big hand points right to the three [repeat]

When it’s a half past something, you’re half way round
The big, big hand points down to the ground [repeat]

What’s the time? What’s the time?
What’s the lemon and lime?
What’s the time? What’s the time? What’s the time?

What’s the time? What’s the time?
What’s the rhythm and rhyme?
What’s the time? What’s the time? What’s the time?

When it’s quarter to something, you’re making a climb
The big, big hand points left to the nine [repeat]

When it’s a 1 o’clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock, STOP!
The big, big hand points up to the top. [repeat]

What’s the time? What’s the time?
What’s the lemon and lime?
What’s the time? What’s the time? What’s the time?

What’s the time? What’s the time?
What’s the rhythm and rhyme?
What’s the time? What’s the time? What’s the time?
