The mobile preschool are preschools in buses who travels to different locations where the children spend the day. It allows children to spend time in a variety of public spaces as well as it enables ac- cess to nature, green spaces and physical activity. This study use already collected video material from a larger ethnographic research project about the mobile preschool. The aim of this study is to look at the socializationprocess during a priming event in a mobile preschool where a group of children who have taken part in the preschool during one year will meet a group of visiting children who will begin in the preschool in the autumn. A priming event is common in the mobile preschool as well as in transitions within ordinary preschools and in the transition from preschool to school. During this priming event the transition occurs between the experienced child and the inexperienced child to create an understanding of how to be a mobile preschooler. Results show that by taking part in this priming event and by interacting with children and teachers the visiting children learn diffe- rent competences that are needed when becoming a mobile preschool child. The children and educators interact on what rules and skills are important when becoming a competent mobile pre- schooler. These skills include, being able to walk long distances, to keep the line together, to be aware of different safety aspects, to be quiet whilst travelling on the bus, to learn what kind of acti- vities one can do in different places and how to get your afternoon snack. This priming event where a group of experiences children meet the visiting children is also a unique event who makes them masters and novices, which in in line with theories about peripheral participation. The result show that when the experienced child are taking a leader role they guide, tell and show the novice child how to act as a mobile preschool child. By telling details about what is going to happen, tell and show what is expected and guide them during the activities. The experienced child take responsibi- lity and the inexperienced child tries to follow as they are told, the result aslo show that one the ex- perience children has been told by the teachers to help the visting children. During this priming event in a mobile preschool the socializationprocess takes place through the children’s participation, interaction and learning.
