Classroom management
It has to be one of the most challenging, yet most important skills that any teacher will learn.
Now I have talked about classroom management in the past
so if you haven't make sure you check out that video linked below.
But in it, I neglected to talk about transitions
most especially when working with young learners
or with students with a low level of English, transitions are imporatnt.
and that's veacuse when we transition from one activity to another
it's really easy to lose student's attention.
And thats when you then start to see that misbehavor.
So today I wanted to share 10 simple transition songs
that you can ise in your class to help keep students attention.
So without further ado, lets get started
Are you criss-cross?
Eyes on me
Hands in your lap, hands in your lap
Quietly
5, 4, 3, 2,1
Be on the floor when I'm done.

Rolly-polly, rolly polly, rolly polly up
Rolly-polly, rolly polly, rolly polly down
Rolly-polly, rolly polly, rolly polly out
Rolly-polly, rolly polly, rolly polly in
Roll, roll, roll

This time we're going to go all the way up, are yuo ready?
Rollllll up, up, up, stand up
Feet on the mat

Are you ready for the hall?
Are you. standing straight and tall?
Are your hands behind. your back?
Are you leaving any gaps?
Are you. as quiet as can be?
Are you looking straight at me?
Now, let's go, quietly
My hands are hanging by my side
I'm standing straight and tall
My eyes are looking forward and I'm ready fro the hall.
