Transition Activities for Early Years

Moving into a new classroom can feel exciting but also unfamiliar for young pupils. Well planned EYFS transition activities help children understand what to expect and feel secure as they begin the next stage of school.

These resources include reflection tasks, creative activities and simple ‘All About Me’ discussions that help teachers learn more about their new pupils. Activities like classroom tours, drawing tasks and discussion prompts encourage children to talk about their feelings and build positive relationships with their teacher and classmates.

Teachers planning transition lessons may also find our wider collection of transition activities for EYFS, KS1 and KS2 helpful when preparing pupils for the next school year.
