This is not just any old countdown timer. It is a video that has professional quality sound designed climactic audio alongside fun number images, each one complete with mathematical information to aid the learning of number facts.
This 10 second countdown timer enables teachers and other adults the chance to make any task completion into a fun game. See if your class can complete whatever task it is before the timer gets to zero and the alarm sounds!
Give the first child or house (red, green etc) a reward for being the first to finish! Or even better the last house or child ready loses a point/merit if you are in the mood for making this game seriously fun and addictive for your class!
Some Possible Uses
Once your class gets used to it they will know that the timer means to stop what they are doing and silently sit still at zero, but you must heavily praise and reward compliance when you introduce it.
• Get your class to put away their books and sit arms folded in silence ready for the next lesson to begin.
• Get your class to finish tidying up after a messy creative lesson.
• Time for the class to finish their sentence they are writing and put their pencil down and fold their arms in silence.
