Full-screen friendly countdown with quick presets. Pair with low-tech attention getters and transition scripts below.

5:00

Attention getters

  • •If you can hear me, clap once. If you can hear me, clap twice.
  • •Hands on top — that means stop.
  • •Give me a silent five when you’re ready: eyes on me, voice off, body still, materials down, brain on.
  • •Macaroni and cheese — everybody freeze.
  • •3-2-1 eyes on me.
  • •Show me your pencil is down — now show me your eyes.

Transition scripts

  • •In 10 seconds we’re moving to the next station — finish your sentence, not the paragraph.
  • •When the timer ends, stand behind your chair with your notebook closed.
  • •You have until the chime to find a partner with the same sticker color.
  • •Last 30 seconds: label your diagram — we’ll share in table groups next.
