While regular classroom carpets do have their advantages, preschool carpet squares are the more flexible option by far. Rather than being stuck in one configuration that fits a particular area, they can be moved around and rearranged any way you like. Of course, if you want to make a standard square or rectangle that will still be an option.
Giving students personal space in the classroom is very important. Each student is built differently and requires different positions to be comfortable. With carpet squares for classrooms, each individual has a clear space on the floor which can be arranged to their own personal liking. This is also helpful to the teacher who can ask students to arrange themselves in various configurations or groups of different sizes for a variety of activities. The possible arrangements are unlimited.
We have carpet squares for kids in a number of different designs. Solid vibrant colors brighten up a learning space and work well with many different themes and styles. You can use different colors to split little ones into groups or ask them to make patterns based on the colors they have. We also have bilingual carpet squares with graphics labelled in two languages, as well as phonics squares, alphabet squares and number squares.
Sitting squares can be used for a whole lot more than just sitting. You can place them around the room and ask students to do different activities at each station. You can play matching games with the squares and pictures around the room or a full-size classroom carpet with a coordinated design. Children can be asked to find a particular square or a square with a certain letter on it. These are just some suggestions of the many options you have for educational games and exercises based around classroom carpet squares.
