Free Center Rotation Timer
Use a center rotation timer for classroom centers, small groups, literacy stations, math rotations, transitions, and cleanup. Keep every rotation visible and use an XTimer room when the display is projected across the classroom.
Built for this job
Students can see which center is active and when to rotate.
Teachers can manage small groups without repeating time warnings.
XTimer rooms let the rotation timer stay on a classroom display while the teacher controls it elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
What is a center rotation timer?
A center rotation timer divides classroom center time into station blocks, movement time, and cleanup so students know when to rotate.
Can I use this for station rotations?
Yes. It works for centers, learning stations, literacy rotations, math rotations, and small group routines.
Can the teacher control the timer from another device?
Yes. Create an XTimer room when the timer should appear on a shared classroom screen while the teacher controls it separately.
