Jungle Time - learn how to tell time (for iPad)

A lot or a little?

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, teaching skills 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. A separate section teaches all about telling time, including how to read the clock and about daylight saving time, 24-hour time, and time zones. There are plenty of hands-on examples of how the hour hand, the second hand, and time differences work. The settings screen has a large number of options for tailoring the game toward the proper skill level, including telling time to the hour, the half hour, five minutes, and one minute, for example. For kids with learning difficulties, the app includes a learning-clock style, which includes minute numbers, with color-coded hands. Parents can track ther child's history within the settings section allowing the parent to see the date of activity and percentages correct and incorrect.
