Start every class with a focused five-minute warm-up - all year long. This is the complete Civics & US Government Bell-Ringers set: 180 daily prompts covering a full civics and government course, from the purposes of government and the founding documents through the three branches, the Bill of Rights and landmark Supreme Court cases, elections and parties, media literacy, public policy, and state and local government.
