Middle School Choir, Chorus Bell Ringer Activities - Full Year Digital Resource

*Over 1000 sold!* Save time lesson planning for your middle school choir & chorus (also band and orchestra), using this set of over 300 ready-to-go Power Point Slides or Google Slides. Copy and paste into your own PowerPoint to fully customize your daily bell work (or daily work, bell ringers, do now, etc.). Start your middle school class with STRUCTURE and meaningful bell work questions. Never worry about bell work again (except for customizing your weekly PowerPoints or Google Slides in a couple minutes) using this system.

This bundle includes:

50 Solfege Questions for Bell Work/Bell Ringers

75 Rhythm Questions for Bell Work/Bell Ringers

40 Time Signature Questions for Bell Work/Bell Ringers

50 Note Name Questions for Bell Work/Bell Ringers

100 Music Vocabulary Questions for Bell Work/Bell Ringers

***PLUS a BONUS --> 33 Key Signature Questions for Bell Work/Bell Ringers, not sold separately and is completely free when you buy this bundle for middle school band/choir/orchestra bell ringers. This bonus file only comes with the bundle to save you even more time and $.

By having a consistent format for bell work (and not a visual Frankenstein), your middle school students will know exactly what to expect at the beginning of their chorus/band/orchestra class. You can train them with the same consistent format every single day (and this bundle covers more days than the school year, so you have some wiggle room in choices). They LEARN to expect bell work every single day - it becomes weird when there is not anything on the board. And trust me, your middle school students WILL ask even if they complain all the other days. ;)

The answer sheet is a half sheet, easy to copy and easy for students to use. The key to success is CONSISTENCY. Have your bell ringer ready every single day, right as they walk through your door, and they will learn to have their answer sheet ready every single day.

Grading bonus - have one weekly grade requirement SET. Weekly bell ringers, done. And then assess your students on one skill that week, BOOM. Second grade of the week - typical requirement DESTROYED. (Or maybe it was just my schools have required two grades a week and you're much luckier than me.)

Okay, I realize my description is more like a teacher hack preaching the good word of bell work in middle school music classes. I should focus on the sales-y part too and make sure you understand a few more nuts and bolts... (But I beg you, THIS IS THE WAY - BELL WORK. I'm a nerd who likes making curriculum stuff on the side hence sprucing up my Daily Downbeats to save others the hours over the years that I've spent. Having a structure at the beginning of your middle school music class that immediately requires students to put their music hats on was a HUGE game changer for me - so if I can help one teacher through the time I put this together, then my cup will overflow.)

More product nuts & bolts as promised:

The bell work questions are flattened into the background design - meaning you can't edit the questions or worry about accidentally moving objects in PowerPoint or Google Slides. The layout also comes with text boxes ready for you to type what rep you're rehearsing for the day, the 100th reminder of the upcoming spring concert, and a place to put a funny meme.

This product is meant to be a quick click and go for busy music teachers who don't have time to make questions for their classes. If you do have time to create your own questions, then dm me on Instagram @cathyschoirclass to brainstorm functional and fun questions that you've used for bell work. :)

This product doesn't come with an answer key for each bell work slide since it will be up to you on how to order them for your classes, just the questions ready-to-use and the blank answer sheet template is included.
