Transition Time: Going Activity to Activity
Help children prepare for transitions from activity to activity with this audio-only moment.
Changing activities is an essential part of children’s everyday routines and can open the door to new adventures and learning experiences. When children have a clear understanding of what lies ahead, they’ll be better able to prepare themselves for change.
Before transitioning to a new activity (like circle time, cleanup, art, music, or really any activity at all), play children this audio moment where Abby Cadabby plays a game of “Abby Says.” Abby guides children to prepare for their next activity by getting some wiggles out and practicing whole-body listening!
Move along to the cues with children as a supporting visual for the exercise. As they become more familiar with the instructions, they may need less support.
