These footprint floor mats are intended mainly for lining up. (Please obviously carry out your own risk assessments and consider health and safety implications for the children within your setting when deciding how to use our resources):

The mats could be adhered to the floor and placed 2 meters apart from each other starting at the door. Children know that they have a particular colour that they start on (or are told to go to a particular colour) and as the person in front moves forward to the next floor mat, they may then also move forwards to the next one. In addition to aiding social distancing, children may practise colour recognition as they wait for their turn to exit the room.

With regards to all of our ‘Social Distancing’ resources, we are by no means suggesting that this is what should be done with your particular group of children, but we have created a set of resources of which some you may find useful to aid elements of social distancing in your particular set up.
