Visual Timer
Watch time disappear: the colored disc shrinks as the minutes pass, so you can see how much time is left at a glance.
How to use the Visual Timer
- Set the minutes, or tap a quick length.
- Press Start. The colored disc gets smaller as time runs out.
- Choose a calm color and a gentle or fun sound.
- Go full screen to show it on a whiteboard, TV or tablet.
Visual Timers help people who find numbers hard to "feel", including young children and people with ADHD or time blindness. Seeing the remaining time as a shape makes it easier to pace a task and to transition when time is up.
Use it for homework blocks, screen-time limits, tidy-up time, classroom activities, presentations and meetings.
