Time for Fun! -- Elapsed Time Freebie

It's Time for Fun! Practice figuring elapsed time with this freebie. My kids can figure elapsed time if they have a clock to use, but have trouble when it's presented in a word problem. This freebie is a game I made with graphics from The 3 AM Teacher. If you haven't visited her site, GO NOW!
