Transition activities KS2

Getting to know you grid

This is great if you have a class who don’t know each other very well. Students need to move around asking others if they fulfil one of these things.

Getting to know you game

Students can play this in pairs or threes. Roll a dice, move that number of spaces then give the information that the game asks you for.

We are all a piece of this class

This can be an individual activity where the student writes and draws about themselves. They need to think about presentation so that you can then display it in the classroom.

What would your shield say about you?

This can be an individual activity where the student writes and draws about themselves. They need to think about presentation so that this too can then be displayed in the classroom.
