Which of the following is NOT an example of a transition activity?

A. Giving the children a 5-minute
warning to alert them to upcoming
changes.

B. Having the children form a train
with adults as the engine and
caboose or with a dragon with head
and tail

C. Singing a song during clean-up
aftercompleting an art project

D. Creating a new science project with
groups of 3 or 4 children

Would the correct answer be the
example (D)?

I would agree that the correct answer would be "D" because you are starting something new.

Yes, you are correct. "D" is the correct answer because creating a new science project with groups of 3 or 4 children is not a transition activity. Transition activities are meant to help children move from one activity or setting to another smoothly, while keeping them engaged and focused. Options A, B, and C all involve transition activities - giving a 5-minute warning, having children form a train or a dragon, and singing a song during clean-up. These activities help prepare children for upcoming changes or smooth out the transition between activities.
