Horseshoe-Shaped Activity Tables

When activities require a teacher's full attention and participation, the best activity table shape is inarguably the horseshoe.

The students can easily observe what the teacher is demonstrating and the teacher can access each student easily to assist with the activities once the students begin working.

Which Table Shape is Right For Your Classroom?

The shape you choose for your classroom's activity tables depends fully on the activities you plan on completing. If activities in your classroom are collaborative and consist of large groups, then a rectangle or round activity table is probably the choice for you. If a teacher needs to demonstrate activities frequently, then a horseshoe activity table is most likely the best option.

In addition to rectangle, round, trapezoid, and horseshoe activity tables, School Outlet supplies activity tables in the following shapes: clover, flower, half round, kidney, and octagon. Visit SchoolOutlet website today to check out our full selection.
