8 Engaging Bell Work Activities

13 Oct

Teachers. Struggling to captivate your students from the get-go?

Do yourself a huge favour and read Lori Desautel’s article, ‘Ring Their Bells: A New Way to Deliver Bell Work”

I’ve attached a few of her tried and trusted ideas for beginning the lesson here, designed to create engagement and anticipation.

Pro tip:

Not all bell work needs to tie directly to your lesson. Sometimes, it's about exploring students' interests, passions, and beliefs.

By starting strong, you'll:

✅ Reduce negative behaviours

✅ Enhance content retention

✅ Create meaningful connections

✅ Set a positive tone for learning
