  • See below for some more fun ways to play Hickory Dickory Dock style! The clock struck – one, the mouse went down to the bottom again. “ Hickory Dickory Dock, the mouse ran to the – one. Sometimes their singing wafts in through the kitchen window. Usually our Rock Clock is just a pile of rocks off to the side of the garden, but every so often, I’ve set it up on the pavers outside, as a little invitation to play. The silver marks don’t wash off in the rain. JJ helped the mouse run up to whatever number o’clock as we went along. From 5 o’clock onwards, we just made up non-nonsensical rhyming words to fill in the blanks in the nursery rhyme (which JJ thought was hilarious). So it must be ?”Īnd then it came time to sing! We sang Hickory Dickory Dock all the way from 1-12. “The long hand is pointing to the 12, that means it is ‘ something o’clock‘.

    I helped JJ set up the position of the hands. (I’m not 100% sure what’s going on with all the soil, but that part was JJ’s idea, so we’ll just go with it, OK?) We used a cute little pebble mouse that we’d made earlier, but you could use any sort of mouse toy. We used twigs for our rock clock hands, and talked about how we needed a short one for the hour hand and a longer one for the minute hand (and because her white clock also happened to have a second hand, we used a skinny twig to represent that too). We studied JJ’s white clock to work out where the numbers should go, and what length and thickness the hands should be.

    This was also a good chance to talk about and practise how to read an analog clock. The numbers 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are tricky for her: she still can’t ‘read’ these numbers yet, but she works out what they are based on their position in the sequence. It’s also a good opportunity to see how she is going with her numeral recognition skills. Some of the numbers are a bit hard to decifer, but that’s the point really – to give JJ a chance to practise her writing skills in a playful way. (Metallic gold markers also work well on dark coloured rocks – or you could also try using a liquid paper pen). To make our rock clock, my 4.5 year old daughter JJ wrote the numbers 1-12 on dark grey rocks from our garden, using a metallic silver Sharpie permanent marker. I’m not sure if these are the ‘official Hickory Dickory Dock lyrics’, but this is what we sing at our place anyway.
