Chrono Quest
Master Time to Escape the Vortex!
Warning: Temporal Anomaly Detected! In Chrono Quest, students become Time Agents needed to stabilize the timeline. This sci-fi adventure makes learning Time and Sequencing thrilling for Year 1 and Year 2.
Instead of boring drills, children interact with the fabric of time itself—setting clocks in the Tower, reordering broken calendars, and reconstructing historical timelines.
🕹️ Mission Parameters
-
🕐
Clock Tower Protocol Translate digital commands (e.g., "10:30") into analogue reality. Set the hands correctly to restore the flow of time.

-
🌅
Timeline Stabilization Organize daily events (Wake Up → Breakfast → School) to prove you understand the sequence of a day.
📚 Curriculum Focus (Measurement)
Chrono Quest targets the core "Time" objectives for KS1:
- Analogue & Digital Tell and write the time to five minutes, including quarter past/to.
- Sequencing Order days of the week, months of the year, and seasons.
- Duration Compare and sequence intervals of time (slower, faster, earlier, later).
🧠 The Narrative Hook
Time is abstract and invisible. By "gamifying" it as a mission to save the universe, we make it tangible.
Manipulating the hands of a clock physically connects the circular motion to the passage of time, helping to visualize the difference between "past" and "to" the hour.
👨👩👧 Tips for Time Agents
Daily Briefing:
- "We leave in 5 minutes. Watch the long hand move to the 4."
- "After Tuesday comes...?" (Wednesday).
- "Is breakfast before or after brushing teeth?"
