HOW TO CARRY A CHAIR – Montessori Presentation
(Montessori Practical Life Exercise | Carrying a Chair Lesson)

Materials Needed:

– A lightweight, child-sized Montessori chair with a solid or open backrest

Direct Aim:

• Teach the child how to carry a chair properly
• Set it down quietly
• Sit with good posture

Indirect Aims:

• Develop gross motor control
• Encourage independence and responsibility
• Promote care of the environment and grace of movement
• Reinforce respectful and culturally appropriate behavior

Presentation:

The teacher or parent says, “I will show you how to carry a chair so you can work with it and return it to its place.”
Using both hands, the adult lifts the chair: one hand on the backrest, the other under the seat. Walking slowly, they place it gently next to a child-sized table. The movement is calm, quiet, and deliberate.

Children observe, then practice carrying their own chair in the same way. The adult may demonstrate first in a small group before encouraging individual repetition.

When returning the chair, the child lifts it slightly, turns, and sets it down with care.

This lesson supports independence, coordination, and respectful behavior in the prepared environment.
