Free Printable Exit Ticket Templates for Teachers
Exit tickets are one of the fastest formative assessment strategies there is: five minutes at the end of a lesson tells you what students learned, what they found interesting and what still confuses them. This free exit ticket generator makes printable slips in seconds. Choose a classic 3-2-1 reflection, a muddiest point prompt or your own questions, add an optional emoji confidence check-in, and download a ready-to-print PDF with two, four or six tickets per page — enough for your whole class.
Run a 5-minute exit ticket in 3 steps
Pick a template. Choose 3-2-1 Reflection, Muddiest Point, or Custom Questions and type up to three questions of your own (or tap a question idea). Add the lesson topic so tickets are easy to sort later.
Choose a print layout. Print 2, 4 or 6 tickets per page, turn the emoji check-in on or off, and enter your class size. The preview shows exactly what prints, with dashed lines to cut along.
Use the last five minutes. Hand out the tickets or open Classroom Presentation Mode to project the questions with a built-in 5-minute timer while students answer in their notebooks. Collect them at the door and sort into “got it,” “almost” and “not yet.”
Ways to use it in your classroom
Muddiest Point before a test
Print Muddiest Point tickets the day before a unit test. Students write the step, word or idea that still hasn’t clicked, and a quick sort of the stack shows you which topics to reteach in tomorrow’s review instead of guessing what the class needs.
One quick problem as a check
Choose Custom Questions and type a single problem, like “Show 3/4 two different ways.” Add the lesson topic so the tickets are easy to file later. Print four per page, and one stack of slips tells you who is ready to move on and who needs a small group.
A paper-free exit ticket
Skip the copier: open Classroom Presentation Mode to project the questions, start the built-in 5-minute timer, and have students answer in their notebooks or on sticky notes. It works well on days the printer is down or when you need a check in a hurry.
Bigger tickets for young writers
For K–2, print two tickets per page so the type and writing lines are larger. Keep the emoji check-in on so students who are still learning to write can circle a face, and read the question aloud while they work on their answers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an exit ticket?
An exit ticket (or exit slip) is a short check for understanding that students complete in the last few minutes of class. Their answers show you at a glance who is ready to move on and who needs a quick reteach tomorrow — no grading required.
How do I use the emoji check-in?
Students circle the face that matches how confident they feel about today’s lesson. Pair it with their written answer: a happy face with a wrong answer and a worried face with a right one are both worth a follow-up conversation.
How many exit tickets fit on one page?
Choose 2, 4 or 6 tickets per page. Enter your class size and the PDF includes enough pages for every student, with dashed cut lines between tickets. Four per page leaves the most comfortable writing space for younger students.
Can I write my own exit ticket questions?
Yes. Choose Custom Questions and type up to three questions of your own, or tap one of the built-in question ideas to fill a box. You can also replace the ticket title and add a lesson topic, and the preview updates as you type, so you see exactly what will print.
What are good exit ticket questions?
Short, specific questions work well. The built-in ideas include “Explain today’s big idea in your own words,” “How would you teach this to a friend?” and “What mistake should we watch out for, and why?” A single problem that matches the lesson objective also makes a quick check.
Are there exit tickets for kindergarten and first grade?
Yes. Print two tickets per page for the largest type and the widest writing lines. The emoji check-in lets students circle one of four faces instead of writing, and you can type a simple custom question like “Draw one thing you learned today” and read it aloud to the class.
