✧ Geography Bell Ringers Bundle

✧ Geography Bell Ringers Individually

Every minute counts! As teachers, we are strapped for time. There simply doesn't seem to be enough time to teach all the necessary concepts or find time to prepare adequately for state testing! While you take roll, take up homework, and answer questions regarding late work, etc., have a quick bell warm-up activity for students to complete that will reinforce map, chart, and graph reading along with other higher-level thinking-skill questions. This will prepare your students for state testing! (Questions not included with this template, but can be found in our store).

Not only are these geography warm-up activity bell ringers for the beginning of class great transitions to start class and get students mentally ready for class, but it's also a great way to work in time for state test prep activities without all the extra work**.** Many of the social studies test questions require students to read, examine, and analyze maps, charts, graphs, etc. I have used bell ringers for years and I have seen an increase in students' abilities to read maps, graphs, and charts. It's worth your time and theirs!

This second set of bell ringers ask students to use their class atlases to read maps, graphs, and charts such as map projections, climate maps, time zone maps, population pyramids, and more. Although they are specified for the first six weeks, they can be used at any time throughout the year. The atlas used for reference is the Rand McNally 6th Edition found on Amazon for $15 found here. But many atlases can be used and are more affordable here. If you use another atlas, simply modify each slide to reference the map or page in the atlas you are using. The questions can remain the same.

Many educators struggle with the task of figuring out how to start class each day or how to transition from concept to concept. Due to the nature of switching class to class, students often struggle to mentally prepare to transition to a different subject. A popular solution to these problems is the idea of the beginning of the class warm-up bellringers. These start-of-class activities benefit both students and teachers.

A bell ringer, often referred to as a warm-up activity or a do-now, is a short exercise or prompt given to students at the beginning of class. These activities are designed to capture students' attention, activate prior knowledge, and set the tone for the rest of the lesson.

Note: Answers are in the presentation notes section within each slide.

ALTERNATIVE USE FOR TEMPLATE

I use questions from a book on everything from map reading from climate to culture to government. It is a great way to give them this practice. I suggest rather than coming up with your questions, get a book with practice questions. I display the question before class begins, and students know what to do as soon as they enter the door. They grab their Geojournal, sit down and complete the 2-3 question warm-up.

I can find questions relevant to what they were studying that week. When creating my lesson plans, it takes 10 minutes to choose the practice questions for the week. Here is the series of geography books that I used: (copy and paste if the link down does not work)

Where to find Daily Geography Practice Books:

✧Evan-Moore Site: https://www.evan-moor.com/social-studies-daily-practice

✧Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Geography-Practice-Grade-6/dp/1557999759

This book is called Daily Geography Practice. It is the best purchase I made for my geography classroom. Evan-Moore has grades 1-6. Even if you teach a higher grade level, these books are useful across grade levels. I purchased the 5th and 7th-grade versions and used them in my 7th-grade geography classroom.

Most classrooms now have projectors or smart boards and these can be used with either. I hope this helps and makes it easier to create bell work! This is the easiest thing I do or plan in the classroom with a great outcome.

Work smarter, not harder!

Looking for a different way for your students to work on the abbreviations for the 50 US states? This fun, interactive, and self-correcting, Google Sheets activity uses the states' flags as well as the names of the US states as the prompts. As students complete the answers correctly, they earn guesses at a mystery word, in a hangman-style game. (However, rather than trying to guess the word before the hanging man is complete, they are trying to do it before their battery is drained!) All the mystery words they are trying to reveal are related to US citizenship:

1. government

2. citizen

3. president

4. freedom

5. allegiance

There are some suggested discussion questions / fairly open-ended writing prompts to go with each of these words.

There are 5 sets of ten flags presented, with the states in the order that they joined the union. You will get access to 6 Google Sheets files - one with all 50 flags, and the other 5 files have 10 questions each. You will share the files with your students the same way you share any Google files. You choose whether to give them one file with all 50 states, or assign the other files individually.

Works well as a do-now / bell-ringer activity.

Neither you nor your students needs to have any knowledge of Google Sheets - students click on drop-down menus to access the questions, and type letters in boxes. They will get immediate on-screen feedback as to whether their answer is correct or not. In the file download I have included an answer key to all of the questions, including the mystery words,

Guess the states with fact based clues and visuals. 26 states are included in part one. Use with or without part one. Instructions for individual/group play, and suggestions for use that offer interactive fun while learning about states. Sheets can be colored and displayed or used as is. Clues include: State Capitols with starred location Famous Statesmen Mottos Nicknames State Birds State Flowers States Included: 1. Washington 2. Alabama 3. Illinois 4. Tennessee 5. New Jersey 6.
