The five-minute warm-up that runs itself
The hardest part of a good bell ringer is remembering to have one ready. This free random question picker keeps a bank of prompts on the projector so the first five minutes of class take care of themselves while you take attendance. Choose a set, tap Draw, and a question fills the screen big enough for the back row to read — then discuss, journal, or turn-and-talk.
Built-in sets, plus your own
- Would-you-rather — low-stakes, high-hands prompts that get a quiet class talking and build the culture that makes real discussion possible later.
- Discussion starters — open-ended questions for morning meeting, advisory, SEL check-ins, or a warm-up into the day's topic.
- Custom lists — paste your own questions one per line and they're saved in your browser: content review prompts, exit-ticket questions, journal starters, or class-inside-joke icebreakers.
Fair by design
The picker draws without repeating until it has cycled through the whole list, then reshuffles — so you won't get the same would-you-rather twice in a week, and every custom prompt gets its turn. Go fullscreen for a clean projected question during silent journaling. It's part of Class Zone — free, no login, no ads — and pairs naturally with the name picker to choose who answers and the timer to keep the warm-up tight.
