Great addition to school study games!
As a home school teacher, I am always looking for ways to make learning more fun and memorable. As a result, every now and then I will create a game for my kids or for a co-op class. This last school year, I taught a grammar co-op class to high school students. Grammar requires a lot of rule memorization and can be very dry. Therefore, in order to help my students prepare for their quarterly tests, I created a grammar game. Students would draw question cards I created and if they could answer the question, they got to keep the card. I also included some silly cards to make the game fun. At the end of the game, whoever had the most cards, won. I discovered after the first round of playing this game, some of the students guessed and hesitated for seemingly forever. This really dragged the game down. As a result, I started using a timer. The timer was awkward because it was a pain to set each question. Then I found and purchased the Foxnovo Sand Timers. These timers provided a great solution because I could use different timers depending on the complexity of the question. We were also able to add a “stealing” component to the game where one student could steal a question if the first student did not answer on time. The second student would be given half the time to answer as the first.WHAT IS IN THE BOX: 6 color coded timers in the following increments: 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. They are made from light-weight plastic.WHAT I LIKE: Having the ability to time questions in our school game made it much more fun! The kids were much more engaged and paid closer attention since they had the opportunity to “steal” cards from unsuccessful opponents.In a game situation, sand timers are a much better visual way for tracking time than an electronic timer that can only be viewed from one side.Setting a sand timer is instant, only requiring it to be turned over. Electronic timers are much more complicated.The broad range of timers in this set gave us plenty of options for picking times specific to the situation of each question. I loved having that option! I love options.These timers are clearly marked with their time.We have been using these timers for half of the school year and they have held up well.WHAT I DON’T LIKE: On rare occasion, the sand will get stuck in a timer.PICTURES: I am including a picture of these timers in my hand for size reference as well as one from the top which demonstrates how each timer is marked.I purchased the Foxnovo Sand Timers at FULL PRICE and am reviewing them of my own accord.
