Dolphin Converting 24 Hour Time Board Game

Make learning to tell the time fun with this dolphin-themed maths board game! Inspired by the classic Snakes and Ladders, this engaging activity helps children practise converting from 24-hour time to 12-hour time in an exciting under-the-sea adventure.

How to Play

Children take turns rolling a dice and moving around the board. Each square features a time written in the 24-hour format, which players must convert into 12-hour time (using a.m. and p.m.).

Watch out for the seaweed! Landing on a seaweed square means moving down the board, while landing on a seashell allows players to climb up and get ahead. The aim is to reach the finish first while practising time conversions along the way!
