¿Qué hora es? Beginners game

Spanish 1 teaches how to tell time the spanish way. I thought it would be fun to present a picture of a clock and write out the time shown on it's face. You will also need to write the hour next to the picture such as 7:15am.

Order is not required since just finding a clock with a different time is hard enough. I will give you my example to start it out:

Photobucket 7:45am

¿Qué hora es?

Son las ocho menos cuarto de la mañana.

Great game, Foxluv. Remember there are a couple of different ways to express time, which may depend on what country you are in. - --Mariana--, Aug 7, 2010

At the time of posting my answer yesterday (see above under my name: bandit51jd) I had not yet studied the video for Lesson 1.8 Numbers and Time. Today, in the video section or "Watch" section I've learned Spanish people generally don't use AM or PM; they use time of day; such as de la manaña, de la tardes, or de la noche.

I was going for the idea of a kids clock because the evening time is quieter to study Spanish!! LOL

Son las diez y diez de la noche. It is 10:10 in the evening.

I like the idea of a sunny clock meaning in the morning, too!!
