The names and today's taps stay in this browser and never leave it. Tomorrow the taps start fresh and the names stay. Use first names or nicknames, and clear them on a shared computer.

Children tap their own name when they come in and choose hot, cold or home lunch. You get the totals at a glance and a printable sheet for the office.

How to use it

  1. Type your class list, one name per line. First names or nicknames are plenty.
  2. Leave the board up as children arrive. Each child taps their name, then taps their lunch.
  3. Read the totals at the top, then press Print for a one-page sheet with the date, a row per child and the lunch counts.

Ideas for class

  • Make the tap a morning routine: come in, tap your name, hang up your bag.
  • Use the totals as a math warm-up: how many are here, how many are not yet, how many hot lunches more than cold?
  • Count lunch choices before the line goes to the cafeteria.
  • Print the sheet for the office or keep it with your sub plans.
  • Leave it up on a tablet by the door so children can check themselves in.

Questions

Where are the names stored?

Only in this browser on this computer, in local storage. They are never sent to us, and the page works the same offline. On a shared computer, use Clear the names when you are finished.

Is this my official attendance record?

No. Your school's system is the record. This board is a classroom helper for a quick count and a sheet to hand in.

What happens the next day?

The names stay and the taps start fresh. Yesterday's sheet is not kept, so print it first if you need it.

Can I use it without children's names?

Yes. Use numbers, initials or nicknames.
