Health Bell Ringers for High School Sex Ed | Sexual Health & Relationships

Not every teacher is the same, and let me tell you how bored I get with most high school bell ringers, especially for such an important topic like Sex Ed and Healthy Relationships. These topics are a GOLD MINE for interesting, thought-provoking, funny, and relatable questions that can truly connect with your teens. So don’t miss the opportunity to use the first few minutes of class to either make them comfortable with a few laughs or encourage deeper thinking about the media’s portrayal of sexuality or how their favorite show depicts unrealistic relationship standards.

These bell ringers include 6 weeks of EDITABLE questions that align with the NHES and focus on these important topics:

Birth control
STIs
Consent
Healthy relationships
Menstruation

And also… some fun ones to help your students relax so they aren’t too nervous about the upcoming lesson on genitals—haha!

Included:

30 editable slides
Follow-along worksheet
Answers in the notes section of the slides
