A countdown timer for the days that matter
This countdown timer shows exactly how long is left until any date, in days, hours, minutes and seconds. It's perfect for the last day of school, a class trip, a concert, a test or a holiday, and it gives students something exciting to watch on the board.
Two extra counters make it classroom-friendly. Sleeps counts the nights until the day, the way young children count. School days left counts only Monday to Friday, so students can see how many lessons are really left before a deadline.
Your countdown is saved in your browser, and the share link opens the same countdown on any device, which is handy for a class website or a note home.
