Office Chair Lesson Plan for Small Class

Admin October 09, 2026

Currently, there is no lesson plan directly targeting 'office chairs' for small classes, but it can be adjusted and designed based on the framework of a lesson plan for the theme of 'chairs'. Here is an integrated and optimized plan:

I. Adjustment of Teaching Objectives

  1. Cognitive Objectives
    • Recognize the name and special structure of office chairs (such as adjustable height, wheels, armrests, etc.), and distinguish functional differences from ordinary chairs.
    • Understand the uses of office chairs (such as for learning and work scenarios, where stability is required).
  2. Skill Objectives
    • Learn safe methods for using office chairs (such as requiring adult assistance for height adjustment, avoiding rapid sliding, and sitting steadily without wobbling).
    • Develop physical coordination through games (such as walking around chairs and sitting steadily).
  3. Emotional Objectives
    • Foster an awareness of caring for office chairs and understand the potential damage or safety hazards caused by improper use.
    • Experience the joy of cooperatively exploring the functions of office chairs and enhance rule awareness.

II. Supplementary Teaching Preparations

  • Materials: One ordinary chair and one office chair, safety warning sign stickers, adjustment tools (such as a wrench, which needs to be blunted), and a light music player.
  • Environment: A classroom or activity area where the office chair is fixed in a safe location (away from steps and sharp objects), with soft mats laid around it.

III. Optimized Teaching Process

  1. Introduction
    • Situational Comparison: Display pictures of ordinary chairs and office chairs, and ask questions like 'Which chair can spin around? Which one needs to be fixed in place?' to guide children in observing structural differences.
    • Safety Tips: Demonstrate the scenario of 'falling due to rapid sliding on an office chair' through an animated clip, emphasizing that 'office chairs should be moved slowly'.
  2. New Knowledge Exploration
    • Function Exploration:
      • The teacher demonstrates adjusting the height of the office chair (requiring adult operation), and children touch and feel the change in the seat height.
      • Use stickers to mark the wheels, armrests, and other parts of the office chair, and explain their functions (such as wheels facilitating movement, but requiring fixation before use).
    • Game Interaction:
      • 'Office Chair Driver': Children sit on a fixed office chair, simulate holding a steering wheel with their hands, and practice turning their bodies steadily (avoiding tilting).
      • 'Chair Bridge': Use ordinary chairs and office chairs to build a 'bridge', and children walk across it in turn to experience the stability differences of different chairs.
  3. Consolidation Practice
    • Safety Practice:
      • 'Stick Warning Signs': Children are divided into groups to stick warning signs such as 'Be Careful of Sliding' and 'Adult Assistance Required' on the wheels and adjustment bars of the office chair.
      • 'Sit Gently' Practice: Play light music, and children take turns sitting on the office chair. The teacher observes and corrects dangerous actions such as wobbling and standing on tiptoes.

IV. Key Points for Teaching Reflection

  • The operation links of the office chair should be limited according to the children's age (such as only allowing touching and observation, avoiding independent adjustment).
  • Emphasize the differences in usage scenarios between office chairs and ordinary chairs (such as office chairs being mostly used in fixed indoor locations and avoiding use on slopes or wet floors).
