Pedal desks, also known as bicycle desks or kinesthetic desks, are a unique form of seating for classrooms. The purpose of kinesthetic pedal desks is to provide a seating arrangement that also allows students to move and be active. Some students can focus more when they are moving around or fidgeting with something. If you are trying to find a way to get your active students to pay attention and get their work done, pedal desks from Today’s Classroom are the solution for you!
Does Your Classroom Need a Bicycle Desk?
Our bicycle desks are perfect for students in any grade level, as they come in different sizes. However, they are not a good fit for all students or all classrooms. Before purchasing one of our pedal desks, teachers need to consider which students will benefit from it.
- Students who are kinesthetic learners retain and remember information more when they are doing hands-on learning that includes manipulatives or movement. These students are more active learners, which makes kinesthetic desks helpful to them. The bicycle desk allows children to pedal and work at the same time.
- For other students who struggle to focus when moving around, these types of desks would not be beneficial and could actually be a distraction to them and their learning.
- These desks also act as a mood regulator for students. They can spend a few minutes pedaling to calm down and to get some energy out before working without having to leave the room or distract their classmates.
