Free Classroom Tools for Teachers

Open practical classroom tools for timing tasks, choosing names, organising activities and supporting form time. They are designed for repeated use on a classroom display and require little or no preparation.

Tools for everyday classroom routines

Use these tools during registration, questioning, independent work, group tasks and lesson transitions.

Building a predictable classroom routine

Consistent tools reduce repeated explanations and help students understand what should happen next.

  • Display the timer before giving instructions so students can see how long the task will last.
  • Agree how random selection will be used and allow students to pass when a question needs more thinking time.
  • Reuse familiar activity formats while changing the content, difficulty or groupings to suit the lesson.
