Let’s go through each activity and think about when it makes the most sense to do it — in the morning (A.M.) or afternoon/evening (P.M.).
We’ll use common daily routines:
-
Playing Outside → Kids usually play outside after school or on weekends in the afternoon. 3:00 P.M. is a good time. 3:00 A.M. is too early — everyone’s asleep!
→ Circle:
3:00 P.M.
-
Eating Breakfast → Breakfast is eaten in the morning, right after waking up. 8:00 A.M. makes sense. 8:00 P.M. is dinner time.
→ Circle:
8:00 A.M.
-
Eating Dinner → Dinner is an evening meal. 6:00 P.M. is typical. 6:00 A.M. is way too early — that’s before breakfast!
→ Circle:
6:00 P.M.
-
Doing Homework → Most kids do homework after school, in the late afternoon. 4:00 P.M. is perfect. 4:00 A.M.? No one does homework then!
→ Circle:
4:00 P.M.
-
Going to Music Class → Music classes are usually during the day or after school. 10:30 A.M. could be for younger kids in school. 10:30 P.M. is bedtime — not class time.
→ Circle:
10:30 A.M. *(Note: Some might argue 10:30 P.M. for adult lessons, but this worksheet is for kids — so A.M. is better.)*
Wait — let’s double-check that. If it’s a child going to music class, it’s likely during school hours or right after. 10:30 A.M. is during school. But maybe it’s a weekend class? Still, 10:30 P.M. is very late for a kid. So yes —
10:30 A.M. is more logical.
Actually — hold on. Let me reconsider. Many extracurriculars like music class happen *after* school — which would be around 4–6 P.M. But here the options are only 10:30 A.M. or 10:30 P.M. Since 10:30 P.M. is unreasonable for a child, we must pick
10:30 A.M. — perhaps it’s a Saturday morning class.
✔ Final decision:
10:30 A.M.
-
Having a Sleepover → Sleepovers happen at night. You stay over until morning. So 7:00 P.M. is when you arrive and start hanging out. 7:00 A.M. is when you wake up — not when you “have” the sleepover.
→ Circle:
7:00 P.M.
-
Cleaning the House → People clean during the day. 2:00 P.M. is reasonable. 2:00 A.M.? That’s middle of the night — no one cleans then unless they’re weirdly nocturnal
→ Circle:
2:00 P.M.
-
Reading a Book → Can be anytime, but if we have to choose between 1:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M., 1:00 P.M. is lunchtime or quiet time — perfect for reading. 1:00 A.M. is sleeping time.
→ Circle:
1:00 P.M.
-
Eating Lunch → Lunch is midday. 12:00 P.M. is noon — exactly lunchtime. 12:00 A.M. is midnight — snack? Maybe, but not lunch.
→ Circle:
12:00 P.M.
-
Walking the Dog → Dogs need walks during the day. 2:30 P.M. is fine. 2:30 A.M.? Only if your dog is nocturnal — unlikely.
→ Circle:
2:30 P.M.
-
Mowing the Lawn → Mowing is done in daylight. 1:45 P.M. is sunny and warm. 1:45 A.M.? Too dark and cold — also noisy for neighbors!
→ Circle:
1:45 P.M.
-
Going Shopping → Stores are open during the day. 5:00 P.M. is still shopping time (many stores close at 8 or 9). 5:00 A.M.? Almost all stores are closed.
→ Circle:
5:00 P.M.
