What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Jungle Time - learn how to tell time (for iPad) is a very interactive app for teaching kids how to tell time, and to give them practice on five difficulty levels, from telling time to the hour to telling time to the minute. Kids also learn to set clocks to the proper time, calculate elapsed time, and set elapsed time. There is a separate section that teaches all about telling time, including how to read the clock, daylight saving time, 24 hour time, and time zones. There are plenty of hands-on examples of how the hour hand, second hand, and time differences work. The settings screen has a large number of options to change to tailor the game toward the proper skill level, including telling time to the hour, half hour, five minutes, one minute, etc.

  • The app is intuitive, and kids interact with the clock while they answer the questions. There is a section for learning that teaches kids all of the aspects to telling time, but the game also guides kids as they go.

Since the app addresses several different aspects of telling time, kids will be fluent in analog clock use when they have become proficient at all app levels.
