This is a student name randomizer tool. This is a free tool that you can use to randomly select a student in your class.
The Snowman game plays the same as the classic classroom English game, Hangman. However, in this IWB game of Snowman, the students need to guess the word before the snowman is built and melts!

This is a Space themed timer that you can use in your class. It's fully animated and has built-in sounds. You can set it to count up or down.

This is a simple tool that you can use to talk about the current day, date, month, weather, and temperature. This is a one page tool but is very versatile. Good to use as a warm up activity.

Mister Sneezer is a gross little game that has your students pulling our nose hairs from the titular nose character. Each round, one hair is a special trigger. Pulling that hair will cause Mister Sneeze to sneeze and cover the screen with green goop...and a prize trophy!
Each round is randomized so the nose hair trigger is unknown to even the teacher.
