Children Sitting On A Carpet

Consider adding a row of vip chairs near the carpet area.

Children sitting on a carpet.

Sitting still on a carpet is a task that many adults myself included would find very difficult so consider how long the children need to be sat for and how realistic it is to be expect them not to move. Make sure everyone gets included in the rotation of sitting on the special chairs. If you have ever taught wiggly or hyperactive little children you know that they will do all sorts of movements on the carpet lie down stick their feet up in the air put their head back etc. Right click the clip art image and select save as to save to your computer.

To use for a print or scrapbooking project email etc. Do this by positioning five or six chairs in a row to one side of the carpet space or behind it. With 20 30 kids together on the carpet this can equal lots of.

Look for children who are showing good sitting and nominate them to sit on the vip chairs. Some kids are just not going to sit still so if you can give them their own personal space i personally love to use carpet squares or hula hoops that they can move and wiggle and dance a jig if they want to. I usually try to teach for 10 15 minutes from the carpet whole group have the students move about the room in some sort of cooperative learning activity to practice the concept return to the carpet to. The whole class including those who can manage to sit still would benefit from moving their arms and stretching at least every 5 10 minutes.
