Classmates Classroom Sand Timer – 30 Second

What is time? A complicated question that can be attempted with the use of a Classroom Sand Timer. Time is a difficult concept even for adults, but a school Sand Timer provides children a visual, practical and concrete representation of passing time.

• Show children there was a time before wristwatches, smartphones and clocks!
• Use as an activity starter and finisher; classroom tidy in 30 seconds? Done.
• Incorporate a Sand Timer for the classroom into your arsenal of behaviour management strategies by giving pupils a 30 second warning for quiet, or 30 seconds to reset and reboot.
