Synopsis

101 Learning and Transition Activities is a collection of fun and engaging activities for teachers and families to share with children in a childcare center or at home for instance. This wonderful resource defines what a transition activity is, introduces the Seven Elements of Good Transition Activities, and then applies those seven elements into seven activity categories. The seven categories include Character Sketch/Role Play; Imagination; Large and Small Motor; Recognition and Memory; Quieting Down/Crowd Control; and Repetition. Each activity presents the objective, approximate duration, appropriate ages, required materials for each activity, and Practical Tips on such topics as the acquisition of supplies, ways to shorten or lengthen an activity, and safety guidelines to follow with children. This is a must-have resource for any early childhood educator, caregiver, or family member interested in promoting children's imagination while directly incorporating their input into each activity.

About this title

Review:

Teachers of young children would benefit from this product. There are many useful tips and activities in this book. This book would also assist therapists, social workers, aides (lunch aides, classroom aides) or anyone who is at some point in charge of even a small group of children. This includes librarians, parents, Girl Scout and Boy Scout leaders, and many others. Anyone who needs to get children from point A to point B would find this book very helpful.
