Frequently asked questions
How is the visual timer different from a normal timer?
Instead of numbers, it shows a colored disc that shrinks as time runs out, so children can see time passing without reading digits.
What age group is the visual timer best for?
It works best for early years and primary classes, especially children who are still learning to tell the time.
Can I change the timer length?
Yes. Set any length in minutes before you start.
Does it play a sound when time runs out?
Yes. A gentle chime plays when the disc fully disappears.
Can I show it fullscreen on a projector?
Yes. Click the fullscreen button to fill your projector screen, then press Esc or click the button again to exit.
