Time might be a social construct but we still need to teach how to tell it and that's no easy task. Classroom Sand Timers can provide pupils with a visual and concrete resource that helps them grasp the concept of time.

• Help pupils understand the idea of time using a practical resource.
• Use the 1 Minute Classroom Sand Timer as part of your behaviour management arsenal of resources and use a time out opportunity.
• Time pupils to do activities: complete a question write a sentence or even clean the classroom after a particularly vigorous cutting out session!
