This Back to School Passport is a brilliant transition activity for EYFS/KS1 pupils, designed to help children settle into their new classroom through exploration, curiosity and play.

Eight simple missions and plenty of drawing opportunities, this passport supports independent learning, confidence‑building and early observational skills. Perfect for the first week back, induction days or meet‑the‑teacher sessions.

Children complete missions such as finding stationery, spotting a living thing, checking the weather, choosing a book, and meeting a friend. Each page includes a clear prompt and space to draw, making it ideal for early writers and emerging readers.
