Big Timer

Big Timer — ESL classroom game

A huge, calm countdown for the board: presets, +1 minute, a task label and a gentle ring at the end.

How to use Big Timer in class

A big, friendly countdown for group work, tests and tidy-up time.

  1. Pick a time: Tap a preset, or click the numbers to type any time (like 2:30).
  2. Add the task: Click under the time and type what students should do, e.g. 'Read page 12'.
  3. Start: Press Start or Space. The ring turns orange, then red, and a soft sound plays at the end.

Teacher tips

  • Use +1 min when the class needs a little longer.
  • Full screen makes it readable from the back row.
