The sands of time can be shown literally with a 10 Minute Classroom Sand Timer. Provide your pupils with a visual, practical and concrete representation of time to help their understanding of that pesky social construct, time. A Sand Timer for your school can also be used to support problem solving and cooperative skills in group work by providing pupils with a clear set deadline and encouraging priority setting.

• Teach time the simple way with a concrete representation of 10 minutes.

• Use as a calming tool or a time out resource – giving children 10 minutes to reflect and reset.

• Provide pupils an insight into a time before wristwatches, smartphones and clocks, when time was told by sand timers.
