Help Status Board
Name your groups, then each one taps its own tile to cycle between working, question, or stuck. A quick glance at the board tells the teacher exactly who needs help first.

How to play
- Type or paste your group or table names, one per line, then tap Start Board.
- Each group taps its own tile to cycle through Working, Question, and Stuck.
- Check the summary line and the red or yellow tiles to see who needs help first.
- Tap Reset All to Working to clear the board for a new activity, or go Fullscreen to project it.
Type your group or table names once and each one gets its own big tile on a shared board. Groups tap their own tile to cycle it through three states: green for working fine, yellow for a quick question, and red for genuinely stuck, and every tap is recorded instantly with no delay or cooldown. Instead of raising hands and waiting to be noticed, the whole room's status is visible at once, so you can walk straight to the red tiles first and check in on yellow ones when you have a moment. A running count at the top tells you how many groups need attention without you scanning every tile, and Reset All to Working clears the board back to green for the next activity. Go fullscreen to project the board where the whole class can see their own status too.
Frequently asked questions
- Can a group accidentally get stuck on the wrong status if they tap fast?
- No. Every tap cycles the tile forward by exactly one state in order, so a group always lands on the status they meant to reach, whether they tap once or several times quickly.
- Does tapping one group's tile affect any other group's status?
- No. Each tile tracks its own status independently, so one group cycling through working, question, and stuck has no effect on any other group's tile.
- What does Reset All to Working actually clear?
- It sets every group's tile back to the green Working state in one tap, which is meant for starting a fresh activity — it does not erase your list of group names.
