⏱️ Online Stopwatch with Laps for Class and Sports

How to use it

1. 1. Press Start

   The display begins counting in minutes, seconds and tenths. It is large enough to read from across a classroom or a sports field.

2. 2. Record laps

   Press Lap each time a runner finishes a circuit or a student completes a task. Every lap is numbered and shows the total time and the gap to the lap before.

3. 3. Stop, resume or reset

   Stop freezes the time, and Start picks up where it left off. Reset sets the clock back to zero and clears the lap list so you can begin a new run.

4. 4. Use full screen

   Press Full screen to fill a projector or whiteboard with the running time, so everyone can follow along without leaning in.

Ideas for class and home

• Reading fluency practice

  Time a child reading the same short passage each week. Record the finish with Lap, and compare times to see how smooth the reading is getting.

• PE and playground races

  Time sprints, relay legs or skipping challenges. Lap records each runner or each round, and the gap column shows who was quickest.

• Science experiments

  Time how long ice takes to melt or a ball takes to roll down a ramp. Take a lap at set points and compare the gaps between them.

• Mental maths races

  Challenge the class to finish a set of sums, and lap as each team completes a round. Beating the previous gap makes a friendly goal.
