What is 60 minutes?

What is 60 minutes? It’s like having 60 little blocks of time, each one as long as a song you might sing while brushing your teeth.

Imagine you have a toy clock, and it has a hand that moves around the numbers. Every time that hand goes all the way around, that's one full hour, and an hour is 60 minutes. It’s like counting from 1 to 60, but instead of saying each number out loud, you're just waiting for the hand to go all the way around.

Think about your favorite game. If you play it for 60 minutes, that's like playing it from when the sun is up high in the sky until it starts to get lower, almost like it’s time for dinner! It’s also how long most cartoons or shows run, so you can watch a whole show and still have time to play outside afterward.

So whether you're counting, playing, or watching your favorite cartoon, 60 minutes is just a fun way of saying "a full hour", and that's something you do every day!
