An interactive time-telling maze worksheet for learning to read analog clocks.

To solve this puzzle, we need to follow the path of clocks from START to END. The rule is: each next clock must show a time that is exactly 30 minutes later than the previous one.

Let’s begin at START.

---

Step 1: START clock

The clock labeled “START” shows 12:00 (both hands on 12).

We need to find the clock that shows 12:30 — because 30 minutes after 12:00 is 12:30.

Look around:
→ There’s a clock showing 12:30? Let’s check all clocks near START.

Actually, looking carefully:

From START (12:00), the next clock in the path should be 12:30.

But wait — let’s list all the times shown on the clocks first, so we can trace the sequence.

---

List all clock times (hour : minute):

We’ll go row by row or group by group.

Top row:
- Clock 1: 3:15 → hour hand between 3 and 4, minute on 3 → 3:15
- Clock 2: 7:10 → hour just past 7, minute on 2 → 7:10
- Clock 3: 6:30 → hour halfway between 6 and 7, minute on 6 → 6:30

Second row:
- END circle (not a clock)
- Clock below END: 8:00 → hour on 8, minute on 12 → 8:00
- Clock to right of that: 1:00 → hour on 1, minute on 12 → 1:00

Third row (middle):
- Left: rabbit holding pocket watch → not part of path? Probably decorative.
- Below rabbit: clock showing 4:20? Hour between 4 and 5, minute on 4 → 4:20
- Middle: 8:00 → hour on 8, minute on 12 → 8:00 (again? Wait, maybe I miscounted)
Wait — let me label them properly.

Actually, better to trace from START upward/rightward.

START is bottom-left area.

Clocks near START:

Bottom row (left to right):

1. Clock under START: 12:00 ← this is START itself? No — START is a circle with text. The clock directly below START is 12:00 (hands on 12). But START says “START”, so probably the first clock *after* START is the one showing 12:00? Or is START pointing to a clock?

Looking again:

The “START” circle is connected to a clock that shows 12:00 (bottom left, above the very bottom row).

Then below that are three clocks:

- Left: 9:30 (hour between 9 and 10, minute on 6)
- Middle: 9:30? Wait no — middle bottom: hour between 9 and 10, minute on 6 → 9:30
Wait, let's do this systematically.

I think the best way is to start at the clock that is logically first — which is the one showing 12:00, since it’s near START and likely the beginning.

Assume the first time is 12:00.

Next time should be 12:30

Is there a clock showing 12:30?

Yes! Look at the clock in the bottom row, second from left: hour hand halfway between 12 and 1, minute on 6 → 12:30

Then next should be 1:00

There is a clock showing 1:00 — top right area: hour on 1, minute on 12 → yes.

Then next: 1:30

Is there a 1:30? Look for hour between 1 and 2, minute on 6.

Yes — in the middle-right: clock showing 1:30? Wait, let’s see:

After 1:00, next is 1:30.

Clock showing 1:30: hour between 1 and 2, minute on 6 → yes, there’s one in the third row from top, right side? Actually, let’s map the path.

Alternative approach: follow the visual connections.

In these mazes, usually you move from one clock to an adjacent one (up, down, left, right, diagonal?) but here it seems like you pick the next clock that is +30 min.

But visually, the path is drawn implicitly by proximity.

Let me try tracing step by step with actual times:

Start at the clock that says 12:00 (near START). Time = 12:00

Next: 12:30 → found: clock at bottom, second from left (below the 12:00 clock? Actually, the 12:00 is above the 9:30 and 12:30 clocks? Confusing.

Perhaps the START points to the clock showing 12:00, and then we go to the next logical +30min.

List all unique times present:

From image (carefully reading each clock):

1. Top-left: 3:15
2. Top-middle: 7:10
3. Top-right: 6:30
4. Below top-right: 1:00
5. Below that: 6:15? Wait, clock with hour on 6, minute on 3 → 6:15? No — if minute on 3, that’s 15 min, hour on 6 → 6:15? But earlier I thought 6:30.

I think I made a mistake.

Let me define how to read analog clocks:

- Minute hand on number N → N × 5 minutes
- Hour hand: if between H and H+1, it’s H o’clock plus some minutes.

So:

Clock A (top left): hour hand between 3 and 4, minute on 3 → 3:15

Clock B (top middle): hour just past 7, minute on 2 → 7:10

Clock C (top right): hour between 6 and 7, minute on 6 → 6:30

Clock D (below C): hour on 1, minute on 12 → 1:00

Clock E (below D): hour on 6, minute on 3 → 6:15? Wait, minute on 3 is 15 min, hour on 6 → 6:15? But that doesn’t fit pattern.

Wait, another clock: in the center, there’s a clock with hour on 8, minute on 12 → 8:00

Another: hour on 9, minute on 12 → 9:00? Not sure.

This is messy. Let me instead look for a sequence of times increasing by 30 minutes.

Suppose we start at 12:00.

Then: 12:00 → 12:30 → 1:00 → 1:30 → 2:00 → 2:30 → 3:00 → 3:30 → 4:00 → etc.

Now, which of these times appear in the image?

From the image, I can identify:

- 12:00 (near START)
- 12:30 (bottom row, second from left: hour between 12 and 1, minute on 6)
- 1:00 (top right area)
- 1:30 ? Is there one? Look for hour between 1 and 2, minute on 6. Yes — in the middle-right, there’s a clock: hour between 1 and 2, minute on 6 → 1:30
- 2:00 ? Hour on 2, minute on 12. Do we have that? Looking... I don't see a clear 2:00. Hmm.

Wait, perhaps after 1:30 is 2:00, but if not available, maybe the path goes differently.

Another idea: perhaps the path is:

START -> 12:00 -> 12:30 -> 1:00 -> 1:30 -> 2:00 -> ... but if 2:00 is missing, maybe it's not that.

Let's list all times visible:

I'll go clock by clock as per positions:

Row 1 (top):
- Clock 1: 3:15
- Clock 2: 7:10
- Clock 3: 6:30

Row 2:
- Circle "END"
- Clock below END: 8:00 (hour on 8, min on 12)
- Clock to right of that: 1:00 (hour on 1, min on 12)

Row 3:
- Rabbit with pocket watch (ignore)
- Clock below rabbit: 4:20? Hour between 4 and 5, min on 4 → 4:20
- Clock to right of that: 8:00 (again? Or different position) — actually, this might be 8:00 same as before? No, probably separate.
Wait, there's a clock with hour on 8, min on 12 — that's 8:00
Another clock: hour on 6, min on 3 → 6:15? Min on 3 is 15 min, so 6:15
But let's say:

Middle section:
- Clock at center: 8:00 (hour on 8, min on 12)
- To its left: 4:20 (as above)
- To its right: 6:15? Or 6:30? Earlier top-right was 6:30.

I think I need to accept that and find the chain.

Let me try starting from 12:00 and see what +30min sequences exist.
