Continents, patterns, and colors Once you’ve decided on a layout, you can dive into other creative ways to group students in the classroom. In my last school, every classroom had a theme. Mine was travel, so I arranged my students in groups based on the names of the continents (i.e., Africa, South America, Asia, and so on). Then, I grouped students’ desks in a “four square” setup like the one below. Sometimes when teaching in small groups, I would travel from section to section. At other times, each group would travel to a new continent to complete a stationed assignment. 12 If travel isn’t your thing, here are some other group name ideas: Patterns: stars, dots, stripes, plaid Colors: yellow, orange, blue, green Under the sea: jellyfish, dolphins, turtles, sharks Dinosaurs: spinosaurus, triceratops, ankylosaurus, stegosaurus Plants: sunflowers, poppies, daisies, bluebells Artists: Rembrandts, Kahlos, Picassos, Monets 3. Buttons and shapes This is a great option if you need students to sit in a certain grouping because of accommodations or behavior but want to quickly pull them into other groupings for activities. It also works for any desk layout. So, if you choose something other than “four square” or individual groupings, buttons and shapes is a good option. Walking around the room while students are seated, place a colored button (one color per group) on each student’s desk. Then, have the students stand and meet their partners at a particular place in the room. When they finish the assignment, they return to their individual groups. This can work with shapes, tiles, or any other small object that you have available. 4. Behavior grouping with technology Even your most well-behaved student can benefit from this type of grouping. I like to mix my talkative students with the quieter ones, my “wiggle worms” with my more stoic kids, and so on. This helps with classroom reward systems as well. For example, Classcraft allows you to group students in its classroom management system. Students can be warriors, mages, or healers. Assigning each group to a Classcraft team will not only encourage positive student behavior but also build a sense of social connection and teamwork. 13 5. Partner pairs I get it. Sometimes, rows are the only thing that will work. If you must (or just really want to) group your students in traditional rows, consider two options. The first is to make rows with pairs like in the example below: Or, you could assign each student a “turn and talk” partner with whom they hold discussions during collaborative work.
