Bell Ringer

A short focusing activity students start the moment the bell rings.

A bell ringer (also called a Do Now or warm-up) is a 3–5 minute task on the board when students arrive. The best ones surface yesterday's learning, seed today's question, or hook curiosity — not generic worksheet filler.

Classly AI builds bell ringer into every lesson plan it generates.
