How Do I Spend My Day? (Smart Daily Routine Wheel)

Source:

A spinning paper-plate clock wheel with a rotary encoder. As children turn the wheel to each time segment, the speaker plays ambient sounds (rooster crowing for morning, crickets for night).

Categorisation

Props & Materials Required

  • •2 paper plates
  • •Split pin (brass fastener)
  • •Crayons and markers
  • •Cutout drawings of daily activities (waking up, school, playing, sleeping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Divide the Wheel

Divide a paper plate into 4 quadrants: Morning (Sun rising), Afternoon (Bright Sun), Evening (Sunset), Night (Moon & Stars).

2

Draw Daily Activities

Draw or paste pictures of activities in each quadrant.

3

Spin to Hear

Spin the wheel to Morning — speaker plays a rooster crowing and birds chirping. Spin to Night — speaker plays soft lullaby music and cricket sounds.

4

Time Quiz

Speaker plays a sound (school bell ringing). Child spins the wheel to the correct quadrant (Afternoon). If correct, LEDs flash green!

Why It Works & Notes

Young children understand time through sequence of events. A rotary encoder adds ambient soundscapes that create immersive temporal associations — crowing roosters at dawn vs. cricket chirps at night.
