AM-PM and the 24 hours time worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go row by row. For each picture, we look at the clock and decide if it’s AM or PM based on what the person is doing. Then we write the time in 12-hour format (with AM/PM) and 24-hour format.

---

Row 1: Boy waking up in bed

- Clock shows: hour hand on 7, minute hand on 12 → 7:00
- Waking up usually happens in the morning → AM
- 12-hour time: 7:00 AM
- 24-hour time: 07:00 (no change for AM times before noon)

---

Row 2: Boy eating breakfast with a spoon

- Clock shows: hour hand just past 1, minute hand on 12 → 1:00
- Eating breakfast? That’s unusual at 1 PM — but wait! Look again: he’s sitting at a table with food, maybe lunch? But the clock says 1:00. Actually, let’s think: if he’s eating a meal and it’s 1 o’clock, it’s likely lunchtime, so PM.
Wait — correction: The image might be misleading. Let’s check the clock carefully: hour hand is on 1, minute on 12 → 1:00. If he’s eating, and it’s not midnight, it’s probably 1:00 PM (afternoon).
But actually — looking again — some kids eat early lunch? Or maybe it’s a snack? Hmm. Wait — no, standard interpretation: 1:00 with eating = lunch = PM.
BUT — hold on! In many worksheets, “eating” at 1:00 is meant to be lunch, so PM. However, let’s double-check common sense: breakfast is ~7–9 AM, lunch ~12–1 PM, dinner ~6–8 PM. So 1:00 eating = lunch = PM.
Actually — I think I made a mistake earlier. Let me re-express:

Wait — second row: boy holding spoon over plate — could be lunch. Clock: 1:00 → so 1:00 PM
12-hour: 1:00 PM
24-hour: 13:00 (add 12 to PM hours after 12)

BUT — wait! Is it possible this is 1:00 AM? No, nobody eats at 1 AM normally. So yes, PM.

Actually — let me pause. Maybe I misread the clock? Hour hand on 1, minute on 12 → definitely 1:00. And activity = eating → likely lunch → PM.

Yes.

Row 3: Kids playing soccer outside

- Clock: hour hand on 4, minute on 12 → 4:00
- Playing soccer outdoors — typically afternoon → PM
- 12-hour: 4:00 PM
- 24-hour: 16:00 (4 + 12 = 16)

---

Row 4: Boy sleeping in bed

- Clock: hour hand on 2, minute on 12 → 2:00
- Sleeping at night → AM? Wait — 2:00 AM is middle of night, which makes sense for sleeping.
But also, 2:00 PM is nap time? Unlikely for a child unless specified. Usually, deep sleep like this is nighttime.
So → 2:00 AM
12-hour: 2:00 AM
24-hour: 02:00

Wait — but sometimes people nap at 2 PM. However, the image shows him under covers, eyes closed, pillow — looks like nighttime sleep. Also, in worksheet contexts, sleeping in bed with dark background often means night. So AM is correct here? No — 2:00 AM is early morning, still night. Yes.

Actually — 2:00 AM is technically "night", but we call it AM. Yes.

Row 5: Family watching TV together

- Clock: hour hand on 9, minute on 12 → 9:00
- Watching TV as a family — usually evening → PM
- 12-hour: 9:00 PM
- 24-hour: 21:00 (9 + 12 = 21)

---

Now let’s compile all answers:

Row 1: 7:00 AM → 07:00
Row 2: 1:00 PM → 13:00
Row 3: 4:00 PM → 16:00
Row 4: 2:00 AM → 02:00
Row 5: 9:00 PM → 21:00

Wait — Row 4: Is 2:00 AM really when you’re shown sleeping? Sometimes worksheets use 2:00 PM for naps, but the image doesn’t suggest nap — it suggests full sleep. Also, in many curricula, they teach that sleeping in bed = night = AM only if it’s before noon? No — AM goes from midnight to noon. 2:00 AM is valid.

But let’s think differently: maybe the fourth one is 2:00 PM? Because 2:00 AM is very late/early, and kids don’t usually have homework about that. Perhaps it’s a nap?

Looking back at the image description: “boy sleeping in bed” — could be either. But in most elementary worksheets, if it’s a single child sleeping alone in bed with no other context, and clock says 2:00, they often mean 2:00 PM for a nap? Or 2:00 AM?

I recall now: in many such worksheets, the sleeping child at 2:00 is intended to be 2:00 AM because it’s nighttime sleep. But let’s verify with logic: if row 1 is waking up at 7 AM, then sleeping at 2 AM would be before that — which is fine, different days.

Alternatively, perhaps it’s 2:00 PM — afternoon nap. But the image doesn’t show daylight or anything.

To resolve this: let’s consider typical daily routines taught in schools:

- Wake up: 7 AM
- Eat lunch: 1 PM
- Play outside: 4 PM
- Sleep at night: 10 PM or so — but here it’s 2:00? That doesn’t fit.

Wait — maybe I misassigned row 4. Let’s list activities again:

Row 1: wake up → 7 AM
Row 2: eat → 1 PM (lunch)
Row 3: play soccer → 4 PM
Row 4: sleep → should be night, say 10 PM? But clock says 2:00. Contradiction.

Unless... the fourth clock is 2:00, but is it AM or PM? If he’s sleeping, and it’s 2:00, it must be 2:00 AM — because 2:00 PM is daytime, and you wouldn’t be asleep in bed unless sick or napping. But the image doesn’t indicate nap.

Perhaps there’s a mistake in my initial assumption. Let me check online or standard practices — but since I can’t, I’ll go with logic: in 24-hour cycle, sleeping in bed deeply is usually between 10 PM and 6 AM. 2:00 falls in that range → 2:00 AM.

Similarly, watching TV at 9:00 is evening → 9:00 PM.

So I think my initial assignment is correct.

Final decision:

Row 1: 7:00 AM / 07:00
Row 2: 1:00 PM / 13:00
Row 3: 4:00 PM / 16:00
Row 4: 2:00 AM / 02:00
Row 5: 9:00 PM / 21:00

But let’s confirm row 2: eating at 1:00 — is it possible it’s 1:00 AM? No, absurd. So PM is correct.

Another way: in 24-hour time, AM times are 00:00 to 11:59, PM are 12:00 to 23:59. So:

- 7:00 AM = 07:00
- 1:00 PM = 13:00
- 4:00 PM = 16:00
- 2:00 AM = 02:00
- 9:00 PM = 21:00

All good.

Final Answer:

| Activity | 12 hour time | 24 hour time |
|---------------------------|--------------|--------------|
| Waking up | 7:00 AM | 07:00 |
| Eating | 1:00 PM | 13:00 |
| Playing soccer | 4:00 PM | 16:00 |
| Sleeping | 2:00 AM | 02:00 |
| Watching TV | 9:00 PM | 21:00 |

Note: For the sleeping child, if your teacher expects 2:00 PM for a nap, it might be different, but based on standard interpretation of "sleeping in bed" without other cues, 2:00 AM is more accurate for nighttime sleep. However, upon second thought — in many elementary worksheets, they avoid 2:00 AM and use 2:00 PM for naps. Let me reconsider.

Actually, let's look at the sequence:

- Row 1: 7 AM wake up
- Row 2: 1 PM eat (lunch)
- Row 3: 4 PM play
- Row 4: 2 ? sleep — if it's 2 PM, that would be before 4 PM, which doesn't make sense chronologically. The rows are not necessarily in order, but usually they are.

The images are listed vertically, but not necessarily chronological. So row 4 could be 2 AM, even if it's before row 1.

To be safe, I'll stick with 2:00 AM for sleeping, as it's nighttime.

But I recall now: in some versions of this worksheet, the sleeping child is at 10 PM, but here the clock clearly shows 2:00. So it must be 2:00 AM.

Yes.

Final Answer:

For each row:

1. 7:00 AM, 07:00
2. 1:00 PM, 13:00
3. 4:00 PM, 16:00
4. 2:00 AM, 02:00
5. 9:00 PM, 21:00

I think that's correct.
