Visual classroom countdown timer

Agree on a reading, group activity or break goal, then set the countdown together. Time1Time shows remaining time as sand or a cute character moving along a progress bar. Choose a shark, cat, rabbit or turtle to suit your classroom.

How to use the timer

Enter minutes and seconds, select Set countdown, then Start. Blank fields count as zero, but a new countdown must be at least one second. Add or subtract time while it runs. Reset stops the timer and restores the last set duration. Adding time may move the character back because more time remains.

Sound and focus

A gentle electronic alert plays four short beeps, then five, when time ends. Lower your device volume and test a one-second countdown first. Full screen is a distraction-free page layout: it hides settings and empty ad placeholders, without activating the browser’s fullscreen API.

This is not a medical service and does not guarantee symptom improvement. Your system’s reduced-motion setting pauses decorative animation. Sleep, mute settings and browser restrictions can affect alerts; changing the system clock affects timing. Space starts or pauses, R resets and Esc exits full screen; shortcuts do not apply while using form fields or buttons. Reloading resets the timer to five minutes.
