5 Minute Classroom Timer

Press Start to begin the 5 minute countdown timer. Keep the countdown visible while students finish, pause it when needed, or reset it to start the full five minutes again.

Use the plus and minus controls to adjust the time. Turn sound on or off, and select fullscreen to make the timer easier to see on a classroom display, projector, or smartboard.

Start a five-minute countdown between subjects or activities so students can see how much time is left. It works well for packing up, changing tasks, moving to a new station, or getting ready for the next part of a lesson.

Pair this 5 minute transition timer with your usual routine. Give directions, start the timer, and keep it on the classroom screen while students move and prepare.

Use this as a 5 minute cleanup timer for cleaning desks, putting materials away, organizing stations, or resetting the room. The large display keeps cleanup short and gives the whole class a visible stopping point.

It is also useful for end-of-class cleanup and packing up. For a timer focused on classroom reset routines, open the Clean Up Timer.

Set five minutes for a movement break, calm reset, indoor recess activity, or whole-class brain break. Students can follow the countdown and know when it is time to return to work.
