Secura Magnetic Visual Timer. Click the photo to see the price on Amazon.

Starting our review of the best magnetic timers for teachers is this premium timer. This mechanical red, black and white countdown timer requires no batteries and is highly
visual. Perfect as an aid for test taking, managing playtime, setting timeouts, and timing games and other activities.
