If
you think that kids don't notice, think again. Their energy
is boundless and they are forever turning real life stuff into
the stuff that games are made of. Making a hallway junction
point into an alphabet game board is not so farfetched as it
might seem at first blush.
And really anything can be a teaching tool. The points of a compass,
a famous phrase, the names of great people, geometric shapes,
the chart of elements, an area map, and who knows what else.

Or,
how about making the music wing more "note worthy" by
putting a free ranging music related floor design on every square
foot of the department. It's that old commitment thing; and, it
works.

We see this kind of thinking on the elementary school level all
the time. But, we probably need it just as much in the upper grades
and even in the world of big business. Think "out of the box"
and make the floor of the car service (read: car maintenance and
repair) waiting room reflect its purpose in a creative and friendly
and welcoming way.
