2. How do I choose the right size rug for my classroom?

Choose a rug based on classroom size, student numbers, and use purpose, ensuring all students can sit comfortably.

As a general guide, you need around 24-25 inches of space for a child to sit. So when you consider a classroom carpet and try to size it appropriately, do some simple math.

For example for arranging 12 kids with each requiring 24 inches of space, here is a practical carpet size option based on row and column setups:

4 rows of 3 kids each:

Width: 3 kids × 24 inches = 72 inches (6 feet)

Depth: 4 rows × 24 inches = 96 inches (8 feet)

Carpet Size: 6 feet by 8 feet
