"Tick-Tock Time"

[Intro - powerful, echo] "What has: 60 minutes in an hour - and 30 minutes has half the power! 15 minutes equals a quarter - A face, a long hand - and one that's shorter?" [Verse 1] Tick-tock, tick-tock - listen to the sound - Round and round - the hands go around! Tick-tock, tick-tock every second - Tick-tock - 60 seconds in a minute! Tick-tock, tick-tock! And here's something that's coming soon - Twelve is cool - it's both midnight and noon! What’s the clock say — oh - one through twelve? Shorthand tells the hour - that's so clear! Long hand points — to the minutes that are near! Tick-tock, tick-tock - come learn with me - Reading clocks is easy - you will see! [Verse 2] When the little hand points at the number two - And the big hand’s up — it’s two o’clock, oh yeah - woo-hoo! Tick-tock, tick-tock! When the big hand points down to six - That means half past the hour — yay! Time for more tricks! Tick-tock, tick-tock! When the little hand points to seven, and the big hand to nine - Now it's quarter to - what time? [Quietly spoken faintly - give kids 3-seconds to think] Tick-tock, tick-tock - goes the clock! [Spoken excited] Yes! Quarter to eight! You did - that's great! Tick-tock, tick-tock! Now - is it schooltime, or is it bedtime? Tick-tock, tick-tock! Is it daytime or is it nighttime? Tick-tock, tick-tock! [Chorus 2 - powerful] Tick-tock, tick-tock - what’s on that face on the wall? Twelve numbers in their place - all awaiting their call! Shorthand hours, long hand minutes - Hey, time champ — you’re in it to win it! Tick-tock, tick-tock! Bridge – fun call & response] 🎤 “What does three o’clock look like?” [Kids]: “Little hand three, big hand twelve!” 🎤 “And what’s half past four?” [Kids]: “Little hand four — big hand to the floor!” [Everyone]: "Telling time is fun, I can't wait - let's do some more! Tick-tock, tick-tock! [Verse 3] When the big hand’s pointing to the three - That means it’s quarter after the hour — you, see! Little hand shows what hour is next, it's close, it's near - Wow! You’re getting good at this — let’s all give a cheer! Tick-tock, tick-tock! [Final Chorus – Big Finish] It's tick-tock time - you’ve got the clue, Now you know what the clock hands do!
