Classroom Rotation Center Signs:

I would print these center signs out and then laminate them. You can then place velcro dots on each sign. For example, if you only want #4 students in the library at a time. I would place #4 velcro dots on that center sign. Then during rotations, they can use their name or a picture of them to move to the center they want to be in. Once each velcro dot is full they will know they have to go to a different center until another student moves to a different activity. This helps you know where each student was when it’s time to clean up and helps students practice taking turns as well as helps keep centers from getting too overcrowded.

Center Signs Included In This Package:

• LIBRARY CENTER
• READING CENTER
• ART CENTER
• BUILDING CENTER
• BLOCK CENTER
• HOUSEKEEPING
• DRAMATIC CENTER
• MANIPULATIVE CENTER
• SCIENCE CENTER
• SENSORY CENTER
• WRITING CENTER
• LITERACY CENTER
• MATH CENTER
• PLAY-DOH CENTER
• MUSIC CENTER
• CIRCLE TIME AREA
