"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Transition Tuesday

Use this finger play while waiting in line.

Matching

Match the fingers on your hands
One to one as up they stand.
Match your two thumbs small and fat.
Match two pointers just like that.
Match two middle fingers tall.
Match two ring ones. That’s not all
Match two fingers very small.
Match two feet with socks and shoes.
Match everything that goes by two’s.


This transition activity also helps children move thier fingers separately - a skill needed for writing readiness.
