No-Prep August Bell Ringers (with Slides)

These FREE bell ringers develop practice with:

• Varying sentence structure (to build suspense and rhythm).

• Strong word choice (sprinted like a startled squirrel instead of ran fast).

• Showing emotion through action (show don’t tell practice).

• Dialogue with purpose (not just random chatter, but lines that reveal character).

• Building suspense and humor (ending with cliffhangers is a student favorite).
