Create an editable classroom seating chart in Google Slides with 14 seating arrangements, a blank classroom layout template, color-coded desks, student photo icons, classroom jobs, cleaning jobs, and station rotation slides. Type student names directly onto desks or drag and drop student photos to quickly organize classroom seating, table groups, small groups, centers, and daily classroom routines.
Changing seats should not mean rebuilding your entire classroom chart. These editable seating chart templates help you quickly move students, plan group arrangements, organize classroom jobs, and create visual station rotations from one reusable Google Slides resource.
Use the color-coded desks to identify table groups, reading groups, intervention groups, cooperative learning teams, classroom houses, or different class periods. You can also replace the student icons with student photos to create an easy-to-follow visual seating chart for substitutes, specialists, support staff, and students.

Two Ways to Create Your Seating Chart
Type Student Names
Type each student’s name directly onto a color-coded desk. Move the desks and name labels as needed to create new seating arrangements, student groups, or table teams.
Add Student Photos
Replace the student icons with student photos to create a visual classroom seating chart. Drag and drop the photos into place whenever students change seats or groups.
The photo option is especially useful at the beginning of the school year, for substitute teachers, classroom aides, specialists, intervention staff, and anyone learning student names.
Color-Coded Student Grouping
Use the different desk colors to visually organize:
Table groups
Reading groups
Math groups
Intervention groups
Project teams
Classroom houses
Center rotations
Cooperative learning groups
Different class periods
Color coding allows you to see student groups at a glance without creating a separate chart for every classroom routine.
Classroom Jobs and Cleaning Jobs
Assign classroom responsibilities by typing student names onto the included job labels or dragging student name cards into place.
Use the classroom jobs slides to organize responsibilities such as:
Line leader
Door holder
Paper helper
Technology helper
Materials manager
Classroom messenger
Board helper
Library helper
The cleaning jobs slide can be used to assign students to classroom areas or end-of-day cleanup responsibilities. Rotate assignments weekly, monthly, or whenever classroom jobs change.
Station Rotation Slide
Plan and display student rotations for:
Literacy centers
Math centers
Small-group instruction
Intervention groups
Learning stations
Project-based learning
Classroom activities
Add student names or group names to each station and move the labels as groups rotate. Display the slide on your classroom board so students can quickly see where they need to go next.
