About this 1 minute timer
This 1 minute timer is ready to go: press Start and sixty seconds count down in digits the back row can read. The ring around the time empties as the minute passes and turns red for the last few seconds, so nobody needs to ask how long is left.
One minute is short enough to feel like a game and long enough to get something done. It's perfect for fast fluency drills, quick partner shares and the kind of tidy-up that only happens when there's a clock on it.
