Songs and Rhymes for Transition Times: 150 Transitions for the Preschool Classroom

Numerous times throughout the day in a preschool classroom, children move from one activity to another. For some students, this is an easy task. For others, transition times add confusion, challenges, and frustration to their day. Learning how to transition efficiently between activities leads to more time for children to be engaged in learning activities and fewer behavior problems in the classroom. Adding music to your preschool day is powerful and will help you during transition times. The 150 transitions in this book cover every part of the preschool day: beginning of the day, circle time, attention-getters, handwashing, lining up, cleaning up, outside time, brain breaks, finger plays, building character, and ending the day. This book is filled with songs set to familiar tunes, rhythmic chants, and rhymes. Transitions will help both beginning and veteran teachers create an amazing classroom environment.
