Tick, Tock! Tick, Tock! Time is constantly passing from seconds into minutes, minutes into hours, hours into days, and days into years. Most kids know that an hour is longer than a minute, but how long exactly is a minute when you’re trying to complete a task? What things can you do in 60 seconds? To answer this question, you’ll need to be able to read a clock with an hour and minute hand, and you’ll need a list of challenging—but Kid Scoop fun—tasks to complete. Grab your gear and get ready to race around the dial calculating simple sums, locating flying clocks, jumping up and down, and balancing on one foot. Soon you’ll be challenging others to one-minute activities. When you finish, your own inner clock will have a better sense of how long a minute takes to pass!
