How the race timers work
Each race takes your class list and gives every student their own runner. Press Start, and the runners race across the screen at random speeds — the order they cross the finish line is the order students take their turn. It's the same idea as drawing names from a hat, but the whole class gets to watch it happen, which makes deciding who goes first feel fair and fun instead of arbitrary.
Great for
Presentation order, reading turns, line-up order, choosing teams, or deciding who answers first in a review game. Every race works in fullscreen, fits any class size on one screen, and can be paused mid-race if you need to.
Which race should I use?
The classic Race Timer keeps things simple with colored circles and initials. Themed races — ninjas, dinosaurs, pirates, cowboys, pixel heroes, cute critters and sushi — add illustrated characters and backgrounds for younger classes or topic units. Word Race lets you race vocabulary words instead of names, and Team Race is a click-to-advance race for team quiz games.
