Classroom Timer
A large, easy-to-read countdown timer for the classroom. Set any time or use quick presets, then start, pause and reset. A gentle chime sounds when time is up.
A timer the whole room can see
A clear, oversized countdown keeps a class on task far better than a watch on your wrist. This classroom timer shows big digits everyone can read from the back row, with simple start, pause and reset controls. Use it for timed tests, group work, transitions or brain breaks.
Presets and custom times
Tap a preset for the common durations — one, five, ten or fifteen minutes — or set any custom time with the minute and second fields. The timer counts down second by second and sounds a gentle chime when it reaches zero, so you do not have to watch the clock yourself while helping students.
Calm transitions
Visible time pressure helps students self-regulate: they can see how long is left and pace themselves. Pause when you need to give an instruction, then resume. Pair the timer with the Random Name Picker for quick, lively activities that keep the whole class engaged.
