This collection of March Bell Ringer Questions has been created to help you begin or continue a simple but engaging morning routine with your students.
***You can download this free set of March Bell Ringer questions & resources by clicking on each of the BOLD “March Bell Ringer Questions” links at the bottom of this post. (A black & white version has also been provided for those who don’t want the background color formatting.)**
Bell Ringers are questions you pose to your students that they are expected to respond to as they walk into your classroom each morning. They can be such an engaging part of your students’ daily morning routine and are a simple way to get your students reading and thinking from the moment they enter the room in the morning. EVEN BETTER, they are great discussion starters for your morning meetings or class gatherings.
To use these March Bell Ringer questions, print all the pages in color and laminate them for durability. Cut them apart and then add magnetic tape, sticky tack or whatever works for you so that pieces can be taken down daily and moved around. You will need wall space, such as a white board area, designated for your daily questions.
A “March Question” sign is part of this collection and can be displayed in the designated spot in your room for your daily question. There is also a set of response cards including the words you will post underneath each daily question based on how students are supposed to respond. In this collection you will find
- Yes/No/Maybe Questions
- Always/Sometimes/Never Questions
- Multiple Choice Questions
You will also find a download of name cards that you can choose to print for your students. These are editable so you can type names on them or simply print them & write names on each one. Laminate and add magnetic tape/sticky tack to them to get them ready for student use. (NOTE: To add names you will need to insert a “text box” into each frame to type on the cards.)
Place the cards in a basket or arrange them on the board next to the question somehow. Don’t forget to add your name! Students will enjoy seeing how you respond each day!
This set includes 20 bellringer questions that may or may not be centered on the month of March. (Some are just fun or funny questions for students to ponder!) You will also find 30 questions based on birthdays of well known people or nationally designated days in March in the United States. (NOTE: These days may or may not be “officially” recognized days. Some are just fun calendar days and their origin can’t necessarily be found.)
There are a wide variety of questions so that you can choose one for each and every day in your classroom for the month of March. Because there are 50 question cards total, you will be able to choose what fits your school and class best, or use different cards depending on the school year and days you are in the classroom. We have also included one blank matching template so that you can write some of your own questions if you wish (or have students help to come up with questions).
