Taking attendance does not have to be boring.
If your students answer “here” every single day, this free classroom resource will help you turn roll call into a fun speaking activity. With these This or That Roll Call Questions, students get to answer a simple choice question instead of just saying “here.”
It is an easy way to start the day with more energy, more speaking, and more student participation.
What Is This Free PDF?
This free PDF includes fun This or That questions that you can use during roll call, morning warm-up, line-up time, class votes, or exit tickets.
Instead of asking students to say “here,” you can display one question and have each student answer with their choice.
For example:
- •Pizza or tacos?
- •Dogs or cats?
- •Movies or books?
- •Fly or be invisible?
Students can answer with one word, or you can encourage them to use a full sentence.
Example:
“I pick pizza because I love cheese.”
