Have I got the Time?

There are some things that we can do fast, when we want to!

A. You will need a clock/watch/phone that shows seconds. Sit and watch 10 seconds pass. What can you do in seconds in your house? I can drink a glass of water! I can stand up, run around my table twice and sit down again. (It is a small table!)  I can take my coat off the peg, put it on and zip it up! Your challenge is to record on the sheet what you can do to fill 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds and 1 minute. Please send the sheet back to us, showing us some of the creative things you can do!  

 

B. You will need a clock/watch/phone that shows seconds. Do these things for 10 seconds –

comb or brush your hair / run up your stairs/ fold a towel/ put on coat and zip it up/ run

around an adult 4 times and sit down/ take off your pyjamas. 

C. What does 10 seconds feel like? A stopwatch counted down from 10 would help here as

the bleep at the end is fun!  

-Adult to do 10 squeezes on your arm (both arms) and you do it back to the adult  

-Help your adult turn you around – feet need to move to keep up!  

-Pull up the duvet to make the bed and pat it down 

-Pop the clean pillowcase on the pillow
