Numbers and Time Worksheet: Write the Numbers, Tell the Time ⏰
This printable worksheet helps beginner English learners practise two essential skills at once: writing numbers in words, from zero to twenty, and telling the time in English. Students first spell the numbers, then turn digital times into full sentences — It is eight twenty AM, It is three oh nine PM.
The new v2 version is clearer and airier, and a free watermarked PDF lets you try it in class before going Premium: the clean A4 and US Letter PDFs, plus the editable DOCX files, are reserved for members.
🧠 Before starting: a quick oral warm-up
Before writing, ask the students to say a few numbers and times out loud. It wakes up the spelling and the pronunciation, and the writing goes much faster after:
- How do you spell 7 in English?
- Which number is twelve?
- How do you say 8:20 in English?
- What does AM mean? And PM?
- What time is it? — ask your neighbour!
📋 What’s inside the worksheet
Two clear parts on one page: first the numbers, then the times. Nothing else, so the child stays focused.
Students write each number in English words, from zero to twenty, with the tricky spellings in the middle: twelve, thirteen, fifteen…
Digital times become full sentences: 8:20 turns into « It is eight twenty AM », 15:09 into « It is three oh nine PM ».
Morning, afternoon, evening: the students learn which side of the day each time belongs to, while writing.
