Ideas
Ways to use a countdown
Sleeps for the kids
Switch the count to sleeps and make a new picture each morning. It answers "how long now?" before anyone asks.
The classroom screen
Put the clock in full screen on the projector for the last week of term and let the seconds tick down to the holidays.
The office party
Post a countdown image in the team chat, with the party date as the extra line, so nobody forgets to RSVP.
A shop with a shipping cutoff
Count down to your last order date for delivery by Christmas, on your website, with the free Countdown widget.
