Free Resources › Transitions and Routines
A printable visual chart showing the shape of the day. It takes the uncertainty out of what is coming next, which is what a lot of low-level disruption is actually about.
It is free to download, there is no sign-up, and you can print it as many times as you need. Suitable for all classes.
What is inside
- Clear visual cards for the parts of a school day
- Blank cards for the bits particular to your class
- A strip layout for the wall or a desk
- Room to flag a change before it happens
How to use it in class
Set it up on a Monday and go through it with the class each morning until they stop needing you to. It earns its keep on the unusual days, because a child who can see that after the assembly things go back to normal is far less likely to unravel.
