A free classroom timer with music

A timer with music does two jobs at once: students can see how much time is left, and the music itself tells them it's work time. When the music winds down, they know it's time to wrap up.

What to look for

Big, readable numbers that the back row can see on the projector.
Calm music with no lyrics, so it doesn't compete with reading or writing.
A clear end signal that isn't a jarring alarm.
No sign-up for you or your students, and no ads popping up on the big screen.

How to use it in class

Open the Class room and pick a session length, like 10, 20, or 30 minutes.
Press play and switch to full-screen mode on the projector.
When time is almost up, tap "Start 1-minute clean-up". The music counts down so students hear the minute running out.
A chime marks the end. Students should be in their seats and ready.

Good times to use it

Independent work and quiet writing time
Stations and centers, one timer per rotation
Clean-up and transitions
Bell work at the start of class
