About Set the Clock
A digital time, such as 7:30, sits above a clock face with two hands. Your child moves the hour and minute hands with plus and minus buttons, or drags them around the face, then taps the check mark. If a hand is wrong, it turns red and the clock gives a little shake.
How to play
- Read the digital time at the top.
- Drag the hands or tap plus and minus, then tap the check mark.
- With a keyboard, move the hands with the arrow keys and check with Enter.
