About this resource

What's inside this resource

Seating plans are just one in a thousand tasks teachers must maintain. It becomes a burden after a while. This package contains an editable Google Slide file. The advantages are the seating plan is interactive, drag and drop, easy to change which student sits where and you can’t lose the file in your Google Drive!

Included are the following layouts:
• Rows
• Groups
• The U
• Round Tables
• Blank Room (add your own Tables)

Every classroom has such different seating arrangements and desks, so we also include a guide to customize the template to work based on your classroom!

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

Make your own copy of the Google Slides file before editing anything, since the shared link opens as read-only
Delete the four setup-guide slides and the closing thank-you slide once you've read them, leaving only the layout(s) you plan to use
If a student's name becomes hidden behind a desk shape, select all the desks, use Arrange > Send to back, and the names will display on top
Start from the Blank Room layout if none of the four preset arrangements (Rows, Groups, The U, Round Table) matches your classroom's actual desk setup

Skills covered

Digital layout editing — teachers drag, resize, recolor, duplicate, and delete desk shapes to match their actual classroom footprint.
Roster management — teachers replace 30 placeholder name text boxes with real student names and reposition them as seating changes through the year.
Slide-layer troubleshooting — teachers use the Arrange > Send to back function to fix student names that become hidden behind a desk shape.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What happens if a student's name gets hidden behind a desk after dragging it into place?

This happens when the desk shape's layer sits above the name's layer. Selecting all the desks and using Arrange > Send to back moves them behind the names so every name displays on top again.
