Best Setup for Classroom Breaks
Break timers should feel calm and predictable. A visible countdown helps students enjoy the break without worrying about when it ends, and a gentle visual timer makes transitions back to work smoother.
| Classroom Need | Suggested Setup | Best Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Brain break | Short countdown with clear end point | Egg Timer |
| Sensory break | Calm visual countdown | Sensory Timers |
| Transition back to work | Visible final minute | Visual Timer |
Break Timer Tips
- Choose a calm visual timer for sensory-sensitive students.
- Keep breaks short and consistent so the routine becomes predictable.
- Use the same end signal every day so students know exactly what to do next.
- For movement breaks, project the countdown where the whole class can see it.
