Abstract: The purpose of this study was to prove the effectiveness of transition songs in improving classroom management, allowing for a smooth transition from one activity to another and a well-managed classroom routine. This study uses descriptive developmental research under a quantitative design. The researchers composed five transition songs that will guide the teachers in creating positive classroom management. The transition songs will guide the learners to shift from lesson proper to activity, activity to recess, recess to activity or recess to storytelling, and pack up time. The researchers used purposive sampling to choose the respondents, kindergarten teachers in DepEd Schools, in the Division of Bulacan. The learners were observed two weeks before the implementation and two weeks during the implementation. The results were statistically analyzed using a t-test: pre-test and post-test. The results based on the pre-test without exposure to the transition songs showed an unorganized transition, and teachers used verbal instruction. However, after two weeks, the learners performed better in following the transition. The researchers concluded that transition songs foster social connections among students while singing, and they also assist teachers in effectively managing their time, as these songs facilitate smoother transitions between activities and enhance children’s ability to adhere to rules and routines, which are essential components of effective classroom management. Based on the findings of this study, the researchers recommended the use of transition songs to enhance classroom management. The researchers also suggest that future researchers should create a similar concept, but with a larger population and in settings aside from schools.
