    hello

    I'm seeking ideas for classroom management specifically focused on transition time . The age group is preschool ages 3-4 what are some creative ways to ease transition outside of the classroom for example leaving the classroom to go to the  restroom handwashing and outdoor time .

    Thanks in advance

    I have found that making it an interactive game works! Moving like an animal ex. rabbit or monkey. Walk like ex. ballerina or a giant
    Take little tiny steps - great big long steps! sing a song & then "freeze"! Keep changing it up & make it fun :)

    Scaffolding takes time but goes long way, communication, interaction and being a role model helps children understand. songs related to expectations also help.

    We recently had a great thread around transitions that you might find helpful!  

    Here's a printable resource summarizing all the ideas that were shared.
