Good Morning,
Are your students having a tough time settling back in after vacation? Spring fever getting the best of them? A quick brain and body break may be just what they need. Depending on the needs of the students you may want to try some yoga stretches or if they are feeling sluggish, a dance break might do the trick.
Brain Breaks can be incorporated into your day. Some opportunities are:
- in the morning to energize your students
- before or after an assessment
- transitions
- to refocus following recess
- or to break up a long day with some fun!
- Choose from Popsicle Stick Activities
Some resources:
GoNoodle - Can be added to iPad as a shortcut or accessed through your computer - energizing and calming breaks for younger children (I can show you how to create an iPad shortcut.)

Just Dance 3 - Dynamite - Taio Cruz - dance break for older children
20 Three Minute Brain Breaks includes a list of specific activities you can try.
Thank you to Tracey Truman, Carli Kyvelos and Jen Stygles for sharing their Brain Break ideas!
Have a great day!
