Spooky Season Bell Ringers for Halloween, Day of the Dead, and More

$1.99

These Spooky Season bellringers are perfect to introduce middle or high school students to world history classes, art classes, and social studies classes! They focus on art from Mexico (Aztecs, Zapotecs, and Posada's calaveras), medieval and early modern Europe (dance of death/danse macabre and vanitas still lifes), East Asia (tomb figures and bats as symbols), and ancient Peru (Chavín). These are fun, easy warmups to any class, daily bell work, or even as substitute plans. They are also great early finisher activities.
