SEL Bell-Ringer Bundle | 100+ Daily Prompts & Activities | Middle & High School

Finding SEL activities that are both meaningful and engaging for middle and high school can feel impossible. Too often, kids roll their eyes at the “same old” questions, and teachers feel like SEL is one more thing on their plate.

That’s why I created the SEL Starters Bundle. Over 100 quick, printable prompts across 5 powerful SEL themes: Growth Mindset, Gratitude, Emotional Literacy, Mindfulness, and Cup Fillers (kindness & community).

Each slip is designed to fit naturally into your routines as a bell ringer, morning meeting activity, tutor time reflection, advisory discussion, or homeroom starter. They’re short enough to use anytime, but powerful enough to spark meaningful reflection and positive behaviour shifts.

What’s included in the Social Emotional Learning Bell Ringer Bundle:

• 108 printable SEL slips across 5 categories:
  • Growth Mindset (resilience, persistence, effort)
  • Gratitude (appreciation, positivity, noticing what matters)
  • Emotional Literacy (naming and understanding emotions)
  • Mindfulness (calm, presence, and focus)
  • Cup Fillers (kindness, community, and connection)

• Age-appropriate prompts designed for Grades 5–12
• Fresh, engaging wording - not the same tired SEL questions
• Easy to print, cut, and use whenever you need a quick SEL boost
