Free classroom tools
Four quick tools for the board: spin a wheel, pick a name, make teams and time a task. They're free, need no signup, and everything you type stays in your browser.
Classroom timer
Pick a preset or type a time, press Start, and the countdown fills the board in large digits with a bar that empties as time runs out. A sound plays when time's up, and you can pause and resume. Free, with no signup.
Random name picker
Paste your class list and press Pick a name. Nobody is picked twice until you start again, the names already picked stay listed, and the name shows large enough to read from the back of the room. Free, with no signup.
Spin the wheel
Type a list, press Spin and the wheel lands on a random item. Take each one off after it lands so nobody gets picked twice, make it fullscreen for the board, and keep your list for next lesson. Free, with no signup.
Team maker
Paste your class list, choose how many teams you want, and press Make teams. The names are shuffled into groups whose sizes differ by one at most, and you can shuffle again until it suits the room. Free, with no signup.

Are the tools free?
Yes, all four are free with no signup.
Do the tools save my lists?
Yes, in this browser only. Your lists are never sent to us or anyone else.
Do they work on an interactive whiteboard?
Yes. Each one has a fullscreen mode with large text, and works with touch, a mouse or the keyboard.
Can I turn a list into a game?
Yes. The wheel and the name picker can send your list to the Chalkplay editor, to make it a classroom game.
