Beat the Clock Brain Break

When your students need a break but you don’t have time to plan another activity, pull up a challenge, start the timer, and let them race to beat the clock.
 
Beat the Clock is a ready-to-play Google Slides game with 16 quick timed challenges and an included timer so you can project it and start playing right away.
Use one round when your class needs a quick reset, or play several for a longer brain break.
 
Students will:
Race against the included timer to complete quick challenges
Work individually, in teams, and as a whole class
Move, think, communicate, and problem-solve together
Complete challenges like Pass the Clap, Letter Race, Category Blast, Rhyme Race, Mystery Number, Human Knot, Don’t Drop It, and more
 
Why teachers will love it:
Quick and easy to use — project a slide, start the timer, and play
Great for those random 5–10 minute gaps
Gives students a break without needing a full lesson or extra prep
Includes reusable challenges where you can switch the category, letter, word, color, number, or object each time
