Social distancing at school isnโt that easy to achieve. The teachers will need to find a way to make sure that their students will be able to observe the required distance while in the classroom. This means rearranging chairs, setting boundaries, creating individual storage spaces, and more.
If you are a teacher looking for some inspiration on how to make your classroom safe for kids, these 30 teachers can help you out. Theyโve come up with really nice ideas to keep their classrooms warm and fun while sticking with the rules.
1. Festive
This is such a creative idea in such a difficult time. The kids will surely love this. It somehow takes some of the fear out of coming to school.


2. Book boats
These book boats offer an effective way to keep the kids apart somehow. They are also great at keeping them busy and preoccupied.


3. A bunch of trucks
This teacher did an excellent job of making her classroom feel comforting and welcoming for the kids. By turning the desk shields into windshields, she was able to make adhering to strict safety measures more fun.


4. Clean hands
Since maintaining clean hands is important in preventing the spread of the virus, this dad made a hands-free sanitizer holder for the kids. The little learners will surely have a fun time using sanitizers on their hands.


5. Finally ready
You can feel this teacherโs excitement as sheโs preparing her classroom for the kids. Even with how horrible the situation is, teachers will always find a way to make their little learners as comfortable and happy as possible while learning.


6. Disinfecting things
Keeping books and pens clean is equally important as maintaining clean hands. With this container of disinfecting wipes installed upside down next to the door, kids will be able to disinfect their things before and after their classes.


7. Boundary
Tape is a good material to use when creating boundaries in classrooms. Once things get better, you can easily take it off. Thereโs no need to repaint or renovate the floor.


8. Social distancing
The idea of sitting far away from each other can be intimidating for kids. After all, theyโre used to sitting next to each other back then. With these colorful yoga mats, this teacher is hoping they can help make kids feel more at ease in the classroom even when theyโre social distancing.


9. Worth every bit of work
Even though the tables and chairs are far apart, the room still feels fun. You can totally feel the teacherโs effort in cleaning, decorating, and organizing the classroom for the kids. Transforming the room isnโt easy.


10. Individual supply bags
One way to minimize the spread of the virus is to give kids their own supply bags. By doing that, kids wonโt have to share things. However, since kids are naturally generous and kind-hearted, the teacher still needs to look after them to make sure they donโt pass crayons around.


11. A space-themed desk
This โsocially distancedโ desk looks cool. This just shows how some teachers, particularly science teachers, can take things over the top.
