Based on UonumaRobert's great Time Zones activity.
I made a Snoopy-themed version, since Snoopy is so popular with my students.
Each slide contains a small culture showcase of the local area as well as the distance from (Kobe) Japan and + or - hours in relation to Japan's current time.
I recommend deciding on a time that's close to your current time, rounding up/down if needed, then using that time as a base to calculate all others.
There's also a worksheet with a blank map for students to write their answers down.
Canada's represented twice, but Newfoundland has one of those fun .5 time zones, so I threw that in as the final question for a bit of a challenge. I chose the countries based on the countries my students should know the English names for, so I also recommend when the country's flag comes up, asking the students if they remember what country it is.
Edit:
Forgot to compress the images, so the file size was way too big. Re-uploaded a compressed version that's much smaller.
Hello! This is so cute. What grades did you use this with?
I plan to use this with 4th grade for the telling time unit in Let's Try, but I think it could work well for 5th and 6th as a review. I also plan on using it with my special needs class later on.
I absolutely love this but, I can’t read kanji and my school is one of those strict “no Japanese all English “ schools but I can’t afford to subscribe to PowerPoint every month to make any edits to the words.
If you ever have a chance, making it all in English would be so so so so appreciated . I truly love love this it’s so nice, well executed.
@yellowbird I uploaded an "all English" version! Enjoy!
