7 Motivating Kid-Friendly Visual Timers for Home & School (Focus, Goals, Breaks, & More)
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
|
The featured visual timers below range from 30-seconds to six minutes.
If it is challenging to focus on a task or activity for even 30 seconds, you can start any one of the timers below at any time you wish (e.g., 20 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.).
Segments can range from one second to six minutes (or longer if you play through a timer more than once or use multiple timers).
Visual timers can also be used to take a break from a task, or to take a break before transitioning from one task to the next.
Additionally, the timers can be used a guide how long it should take you to switch between tasks or to complete tasks as well.
For instance, you can start the five minute timer, with a goal of brushing your teeth within the five minutes. Next you can use the six minute timer to get dressed.
If you need more time, add the four-minute timer. Then you can use the five minute timer twice to play a favorite game before heading to bed.
These timers are visual and made with liquid (or sand) motion.
The following timers are visual in nature, so people who have trouble understanding digital countdown timers can utilize the visual in each video as a time-guide. The visual component lets the viewer know how much time they have left of a task, activity or break.
