My students and I decided to come up with a list of their favorite transitions that we already did each day. We came up with an AWESOME list and I even had some of my older students from previous years pitch in their fun ideas.
You will need:
popsicle sticks, sharpie, glitter, glue, cup to put popsicle sticks in
I wrote each transition onto a colored popsicle stick and added some glue & glitter to the end of each. The glitter side helps to show me which transitions we already did. Every time I pull out a popsicle stick, I turn it over so that the glitter side is facing the bottom of the cup. This ensures no constant repeats of the same transition!

When we ran out of ideas, I went on Pinterest to see if anyone else had a list of transitions and I was able to find a few that I did not have yet from a pin named ACTION CUP. Spaghetti arms and galloping like a horse were great additions to our list from this helpful site!
Kids LOVE when they get to pick from the cup and it is a fun way to have some fun without losing lesson time!
