Caterpillar Transition Game

When it is time to transition children away from group time and into a different activity it is always good to have a transition game. This allows children to move more slowly to the next activity with less confusion.

Make a large caterpillar with different color circles and black legs.  This caterpillar will be placed on my flannel board in the circle area or on the floor.   

On the back of each caterpillar body part (circle) is a different action movements for the children to do.

As the children come up to play the game they roll a large cardboard box dice with color dots to match all of the caterpillars body parts (circles). A child comes up and rolls the dice identifies the color and then finds that color caterpillar part from the caterpillar. Once child finds the color the teacher reads the movement that child needs to do before moving on to the next activity.

I have a class of 24 children so to make things run smoothly I have two to three dice going at the same time. I run the game and my assistant is making sure that the children are following the plan that they gave to us as to what they will be doing during say free choice time or making sure that they wash their hands for snack and find their seat.

I made the dice out of a 6 X6 mailing box.

Caterpillar Color Bingo

Prepare a supply of caterpillar bingo mats by cutting out different color circles and forming a caterpillar out of them.  Make color cards using the same circle cut outs.  Have children flip the color cards over and identify the color.  Once the color has been identified have the children find and place a matching color pom poms on that color circle.  Once the caterpillar has all its pom poms game is over.  If your children need to work on fine motor skills have them pick up the pom poms with tweezers or tongs.

Jump Frog Jump Color Floor Game

Make a game board out of blue butcher paper.  Make a square grid on the paper.  Mark one end Start and the other Finish line.  Place a set of colored bean bag frogs on the start line along with a colored dice (made from a mailing box 6 X 6).  Have children take turns rolling the dice.  As each child rolls the dice they identify that color and then find the frog that matches that color and moves the frog one square ahead.  See if they can predict which frog will win.  I like to use these types of games with the children, each child gets a turn but there are no winners or losers.
