A countdown built for the front of a classroom

This page opens with the large display mode on, and switching to full fullscreen mode scales the digits up further still — readable from the back row on a projector or a large monitor, with the site's navigation and settings out of view.

Everyday classroom uses

  • Timing an independent work period or worksheet activity.
  • Keeping a test or quiz section on schedule.
  • Transition warnings between activities — a visible countdown reduces "how much time is left?" questions.
  • Group work rotations, with the alarm marking each rotation's end.

Setting it up before class

Save your commonly-used durations — a 10 minute worksheet block, a 45 minute period — as custom presets ahead of time, so starting the right countdown between classes takes one click.

Frequently asked questions

Will this work on a classroom projector or interactive whiteboard?

Yes — it's a standard web page, so anything that can display a browser (a connected laptop, a Chromebook, most interactive whiteboards) can show it, including in fullscreen mode.

Can students see this without installing anything?

Yes — it's just a URL. No account, download, or installation is required on any device.
