![]() While you’re at it, check out this entire bundle of executive functioning supports. I love them for timing turn & talk/table talk conversations, timing how long classroom clean up will take, or to time transitions between activities or lining up. You can also make these smaller and add them to slide decks. If you’re looking for a great whole class option, try out these timers on YouTube! I linked one of my favorites, but there are endless options. I like these for individual students or small groups. These come in sets that designate multiple time frames. Some students really respond well to sand timers. When you’re the teacher running a center, it’s almost impossible to also be the person in charge of sharing how much time remains. I love how visual it is, as you can set it for multiple ways of showing visually how much time is remaining. The Time Tracker is my recommended classroom timer for center rotations. I like how bold and big the display is, and the red color allows students to visually find it. I like this one for smaller amounts of time because it’s very visual. Sometimes, digital timers are really what you need. This is NOT the timer for you if you regularly use timers for under 5 minutes. You can flip a switch on the back to set an auditory alarm sound (more like a “ding!”) when the time is up. The red disappears as the time goes by so students can visually see how much time they have remaining. Clock Countdown Timer Looking for simple graphical countdown Nothing says countdown like a clock face. They come in a wide variety of sizes, however I find this one to be the most versatile and functional (I love the handle). The Time Timer is everything you want in a non-digital timer. ![]() Bonus points that they’re available on Amazon and will likely speed to you in two days! 1.)
