Make the ending easier to see.
Choose a short visual warning for moving from one activity to the next.
No single warning time fits every child or every moment. Pause or stop if the countdown increases distress.
Choose, show, and stay available.
Choose one warning
Pick a starting point that feels familiar. The selected time is not a recommendation for every child or every transition.
Use the same short words
“3 minutes, then it is time to change.” Point to the visual. Keep Pause, Help, and Stop available.
This release is visual by design. It does not play a beep or synthetic voice; optional spoken prompts will be added only after their content, sound mix, and controls pass review.

3:00 remaining
3-minute visual warning

Keep the words consistent
Use one brief phrase rather than adding new instructions at every step.
Adjust or stop
Try a different cue if watching time pass makes the transition harder.
