In short

Teacher Warm-ups gives you a new classroom warm-up every school day for K–5, 6–8 or 9–12, drawn from question of the day, debate, would you rather and ethics prompts, with no repeats in a school year. Today's warm-up, fullscreen presenting and Google Classroom copy are free. The Teacher plan ($3/month or $24/year) adds a week planner, week copy and print, and removes ads.

The weekly rhythm

  • Monday — question of the day
  • Tuesday — debate: pick a side and give one reason
  • Wednesday — would you rather
  • Thursday — ethics: what is the right thing to do?
  • Friday — a fun prompt to end the week

Frequently asked questions

What is a daily warm-up for students?

A short question or task students answer in the first 3–5 minutes of class, often called a bell ringer or do-now. Here you get one for every school day, matched to your grade band, ready to put on the projector.

Is today's warm-up free?

Yes. Today's warm-up for any grade band is free, with no account, and so are fullscreen presenting and copying it for Google Classroom. Free generators on the rest of the site stay unlimited.

Do warm-ups repeat during the school year?

No. Each grade band follows its own order through the school year (August to July), so a class sees each prompt once per year. Monday is question of the day, Tuesday debate, Wednesday would you rather, Thursday ethics and Friday a fun prompt.

How much does the Teacher plan cost?

$3 per month or $24 per year, in USD. It adds the week planner (any week or date), one-click copy of a whole week for Google Classroom, printing, and no ads on randomtopics.app. The week planner is free to try for 3 days.

How do I cancel?

Cancel any time from the billing link in your receipt email. The plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for, and today's warm-up stays free afterwards.

How do I use it with Google Classroom?

Click Copy for Google Classroom, then paste into a new Question or Announcement. The text includes the date, the prompt and a one-line task, so it reads cleanly without editing.

Which grades is it for?

Three grade bands: K–5, 6–8 and 9–12. Prompts come from the site's question of the day, debate topics, would you rather and ethical dilemma collections, filtered so younger grades get simpler, kid-friendly prompts.
