Attendance Questions or Bell Ringers Fun Back to School Ranking Slides Activity

Start the year strong with these attendance questions that turn your daily roll call into an engaging routine students genuinely look forward to. This back-to-school ranking slideshow includes 200 high-interest prompts that ask students to rank three options from most to least favorite. Instead of responding with a simple “here,” students share their rankings aloud, which naturally sparks conversation, friendly debate, and connection. The format is simple, consistent, and easy to maintain, making it ideal for establishing classroom expectations early in the year. Designed with bright, student-friendly slides and topics that appeal to middle and early high school students, these attendance questions add energy to your daily routine while building classroom community in just a few minutes a day.

Included in this Fun Ranking Attendance Questions Slideshow:

➡️ Daily Ranking Attendance Questions Slideshow: This PowerPoint and Google Slides presentation includes 200 ready-to-use prompts where students rank three themed items. Topics range from everyday favorites like snacks, holidays, seasons, animals, and activities to imaginative scenarios such as dream jobs, fictional situations, or fun “what would you choose?” questions. Because students must put the options in order rather than simply pick one, the attendance questions encourage a bit more thought. You can use the slideshow strictly for attendance—having students share their rankings as you take roll—or extend it into a short bell ringer where students explain or defend their choices in pairs or as a class. The consistent slide format makes it easy to click and go each day with zero prep.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I use these weekly with my homeroom that we have at the beginning of each day - great visuals also!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love using Presto Plans materials, and I was so happy to see another bell ringer available! It's great to have multiple attendance activities in middle school electives because some of my students are enrolled in two of my classes. Having a variety of fun activities to open each class and mix it up is just what my students and I need!
