Teachers usually do not give as much thought to transitions as they do to other facets of the early childhood curriculum. As a result, transitions often lead to chaos and wasted time. But this doesn't have to be the case. If teachers "plan" transitions, as they do other daily components of the curriculum, they can avoid chaos and ensure that transitions are yet another opportunity for learning. Successful transitioning teaches children to move easily into and out of group situations. The process naturally includes lessons in cooperation and consideration; bringing satisfactory closure to activities; and following directions. And when transitions are linked to curriculum content, they can add continuity and more opportunities for learning. Transitions also offer endless opportunities for problem solving, creativity, and self-expression, all of which contribute to creative- and critical-thinking skills--"must-haves" for life in the 21st century. Since many transitions require getting from one place to another, movement is the perfect tool. Movement activities provide a focus during transitions and hold the attention of waiting children. In this article, the author presents ideas and activities for daily transitions in the early childhood setting.
