What five minutes are good for

The ring turns coral for the last 30 seconds. If a discussion runs long, press +1 min as many times as you need.

  • Brain break. Between two lesson blocks, give students five minutes to move, drink water and reset. Put the timer on the projector so nobody has to ask.
  • Quiz round. Five questions in five minutes makes a tidy round for a class review or a team social.
  • Short discussion. Small groups talk through one question, then report back. Five minutes keeps it focused.
  • Warm-up. Open a meeting or workshop with one icebreaker question and five minutes of answers.

FAQ

5 minute timer questions

Can I add time if the discussion runs long?
Yes. Press +1 min while the timer runs, while it is paused or after the chime. Each press adds one minute.
Will the timer keep my screen on?
On most phones and laptops, yes. While it runs, the timer asks the browser to keep the screen awake. Where a browser doesn’t allow that, the timer still keeps the right time.
Where can I find an icebreaker question?
Our free icebreaker picker at rilifi.com/icebreakers has questions for work, class and events. Pick one, then start the 5 minute timer for answers.
