Classroom timer
Free · no ads · no accounts
Tidy-up time, five quiet minutes of writing, three minutes of pair work — a timer everybody can see turns “hurry up” into a game the class plays with you. Pick a preset, press start, and the ring empties gently while the children watch the numbers instead of watching you. When the time is gone there is a soft chime, never a shock.

How teachers use it
- Five minutes on a warm-up, so the fun part never eats the whole lesson.
- Two minutes for tidy-up — the ring on the wall does the nagging for you.
- Three quiet minutes for a shy pair to rehearse before they speak to the class.
Questions teachers ask
Does it make a sound when the time is up?
Yes — three soft notes, gentle enough for a small room. Browsers only allow sound after you have clicked the page once, so press a button before you leave the timer running.
Can I show it full screen on the projector?
Yes. Tap the ⛶ button in the corner of the timer and it fills the whole screen, digits and all. Press Esc to come back to the page.
Can I open it already set to five minutes?
Yes — every common length has its own page, from one minute to an hour. Bookmark the one you use most and it is ready the second it loads.
