Middle School Transition Activities

Help students practice finding a place and asking for directions when they start a new school or change classrooms.

Find your next stop

  1. Read aloud: “It’s Jules’s first day. The schedule says Room 204, but Jules only sees rooms 101 and 102.”
  2. Display these clues: “First floor: Rooms 101–110. Second floor: Rooms 201–210. Main office: beside Room 101.” Ask students to point to the floor and one place Jules could ask for help.
  3. Take turns asking and answering. Student: “Hi, I’m looking for Room 204. Can you point me in the right direction?” Staff member: “Room 204 is on the second floor. I can show you where to go.”
  4. Try a new stop: “Lunch is about to start, but Jules can’t find the cafeteria.” Ask students to practice a question for the main office.
