Use this colored block 10-minute countdown timer to keep time during classroom games and help keep your class on track with their learning.
Get Ready for the 10-Minute Countdown!
When it comes to timing those 10-minute classroom activities, having a hassle-free, easy-to-access timer is invaluable! This timer video crafted by the Teach Starter teacher team offers a straightforward solution for timing activities during lessons. All you need to do is log into your Teach Starter account, project your screen, then press play!
The timer kicks off with a 10-second countdown before the commencement of the 10-minute period. Throughout this time, digital displays will indicate the elapsed minutes, gradually reaching the 10-minute mark. What’s even better? With each passing minute, a block will be colored in, providing students with a visual aid of how much time has passed. This continues until the entire set of ten blocks is colored.
