Move the hands
Interactive Analog Clock
Drag the hour and minute hands to set any time. Use it as an adjustable analog clock, a classroom clock demonstrator, or a simple practice tool for learning to tell time.
Practice telling time
Hide the digital answer, randomize a time, and ask a learner to read the clock before revealing the answer. Snap to 5, 15, or 30 minutes for easier lessons.
Use it on a classroom screen
Fullscreen mode makes the interactive dial easy to use on smart boards, projectors, shared displays, tutoring sessions, and homeschool lessons.
How to use it
A clock demonstrator for lessons and practice
An interactive analog clock is most useful when learners can change the hands themselves. Start with 30-minute snapping for whole and half hours, move to 15-minute quarters, then use 5-minute or 1-minute steps as reading becomes more confident.
For a quick quiz, hide the digital answer and choose Random practice time. Ask for the hour first, then the minutes, then reveal the answer. Teachers can repeat this pattern on a smart board without preparing separate clock worksheets.
If you only need a live clock that follows the current time, use the classroom clock or fullscreen clock. For a step-by-step explanation of the hour and minute hands, open the guide to reading an analog clock.
