CTE Bell Ringer Pack

Twenty ready-to-run bell ringers split across the business and technology classroom, each tied to a real-world decision so students walk in and start thinking. Project them or print the cut-apart cards, then build a predictable weekly routine.

What’s inside

• 20 cut-apart bell-ringer cards (business + tech)
• A weekly-routine planner (a theme per weekday)
• A blank make-your-own-bell-ringer template
• A student weekly response sheet

Why teachers love it

• No prep: project or print and go
• Every prompt drives a real decision, not recall
• Works for any business or tech course

How to use it in class

Print the twenty cards once at the start of the semester and keep them in a folder by the classroom door. Each Monday, pull that week’s four cards from the planner and project the first one before the bell finishes ringing, students see the decision, jot a quick answer, and you’re already into the lesson by minute five. On a sub day, hand the sub the whole set with the planner as the day’s plan, no explanation needed, just project and let students work through the week’s theme. The blank template is handy too, swap in a card about your school’s own fundraiser or a current local business story once you’ve settled into the routine.
