Tick Tock Garden – learn to tell time game for kids

For grown-ups

No ads · No sign-up · Nothing tracked

Tick Tock Garden teaches children to tell time on a clock with hands. They drag the long hand, and the short hand moves along with it, just like a real clock, so they see how the two hands work together. Every right time makes a flower bloom.

GroupAgeWhat it practises
Seedlings5 to 6O'clock, then half past. Setting the clock and reading it.
Sprouts6 to 7Quarter past, quarter to, then every five minutes ("twenty to four").
Blossoms7 to 9Exact minutes (4:37), times later ("25 minutes later") and time in between.

There are 540 levels, 180 for each group, with five clocks in each. Stars and progress are saved in this browser only.

Does it collect any data about my child?

No. There is no sign-up, no analytics, no ads and no chat. Progress stays on your device.

Does it say "quarter past" or "three fifteen"?

Seedlings and Sprouts use the words children learn first: o'clock, half past, quarter past, quarter to, and "ten past" or "twenty to". Every clock also shows the digital time, so both ways are learned together. Blossoms use digital times like 4:37.

How to play

  1. Drag the long red hand round the clock. The short blue hand moves with it.
  2. When the clock shows the right time, tap Bloom!
  3. Some flowers ask you to read the clock. Pick the time it shows.
