Difficulty adjusting to change, advise please

I used to have a boy that did that all the time. My biggest suggestion would be to almost give a warning ahead of time that we are moving onto the next activity. It's kind of annoying at first to always be doing a play by play 'ok Johnny, in 5 minutes we are going to go wash our hands and then have snack', 'ok everybody, once we are done snack we will be getting ready to go play outside', 'kay guys 10 min until we go inside', '5 minutes before we go inside', 'kay it's time to go inside and take our coats off and wash our hands'. Eventually transitioning will get easier for them because they will know what to expect because generally we always do the same routine every day anyways.
Another thing that works well for me is I was given a clock from my agency that is a timer. So when I say 'in 5 minutes...' I turn the clock to time for 5 minutes and it turns red. As the dial counts down the red disappears and then when the time is up it beeps. Children don't really understand the concept of time but this gives them a visual so they know when that certain time is up. I use this thing for timeouts, transitioning, when the kids are hounding me for a movie or something else that it's not time for. Truthfully, if I ever leave the agency I don't they are ever going to get this thing back lol!!
Hope that helps
