Free classroom management tools
15 free tools for the everyday running of a classroom: timers, a noise meter, random pickers, groups and sign-outs. Everything stays on your own device.
Classroom tools starting in grades K–2
Field Watch
A quiet-room wildlife game for the projector. Keep the room calm and animals visit six real habitats, each with a fact to learn. Every animal spotted goes into your class Field Journal.
Lesson Timer
A big pie timer that splits a class period into named parts (warm-up, investigate, clean-up) so everyone can see what's next and how long is left.
Countdown Timer
A big, clear countdown timer for the board. One tap for 1, 2, 5 or 10 minutes, or set your own, with a gentle chime at zero and a bar that empties as time runs out.
Team Maker
Paste your class list once, then pick a random name or split the class into balanced lab groups in one click.
Name Wheel
Spin a wheel of your students' names to pick who goes next, with the option to take each name off once it has been picked. Add prizes, jobs or questions instead of names.
Participation Tally
Tap a name each time a student contributes and see who hasn't had a turn yet. Everything stays on your own device.
Hall Pass Board
Students sign out and back in on a classroom screen, with a running clock and a log you can download at the end of the day.
Dice Roller
Roll up to six big dice for games and math centres: regular six-sided dice or 4, 8, 10, 12 and 20-sided ones, with the total and a tally of every roll.
Lab Stopwatch
A big stopwatch with lap times for experiments: time several trials, see the average and spread, and download the results.
Visual Schedule
Build the day's schedule with picture cards and show Now and Next on the board. Helps every student, and especially those who need predictability.
Calm Breathing
A breathing guide for the projector: a shape grows and shrinks to pace box, belly or 4-7-8 breathing, with gentle counting and optional sound.
Flashcard Maker
Type or paste a list of questions and answers and get a deck of flip cards to study, shuffle, sort into "know it" and "practise again", quiz and print.
First-Then Board
Show "first this, then that" with two big picture cards, then tick off the first step. A simple visual support for transitions and less-preferred tasks.
Token Board
A reward chart for the board or a tablet: choose a reward, then add a star or token for each step until the board is full and the reward is earned.
Small routines, big difference
Clear, visible routines save minutes every lesson and lower stress for students who need to know what comes next. A timer on the board ends the "how long do we have?" questions, a random picker makes turn-taking fair, and a noise meter turns quiet work into a shared goal rather than a reprimand.
None of these tools need an account. Class lists and logs are saved only in your browser, on your device, and nothing is sent to Fieldbook.
