Why it’s important:
Kindergarten classrooms involve frequent transitions between activities. Children who can transition smoothly are more successful and less likely to become frustrated.

How to do it:
Practice moving from one activity to another using warnings like “5 minutes left” or “one more turn.” Use a timer if helpful and keep transitions predictable.

What to look for:

• Responds to transition warnings
• Moves between activities with less resistance
• Begins to anticipate changes
