Who is Spring Forward?

Spring Forward is a special time when we change our clocks to have more daylight in the morning and less at night.

Imagine you're playing outside with your best friend, and it's still light out when you finish your game, that’s because Spring Forward helps us get extra sunlight earlier in the day. It's like adding a little bonus playtime in the morning!

We use clocks to know what time it is. Every year, on a certain date (usually in March), we move our clocks forward by one hour, just like moving your toy car one space ahead on the board.

When you move the clock forward, the day feels longer because the sun comes up earlier, and it goes down later. It's as if the day is stretching out so you can play more in the morning and maybe even have a little extra time to read or draw before bedtime.

We do this to match the sun’s schedule, since the days get longer in spring, we want our clocks to show that too. It's like adjusting your backpack for a new school year, it helps you be ready for what comes next!
