250 Teacher Created Brain Breaks

Well designed Brain Breaks accomplish three purposes: 1) they refresh students, 2) they refocus students for learning and 3) they re-energize students. <br /> <br />Every teacher has experience the glazed look from students who basically need a break. When kids get tired or bored, they tend to check out. Once kids begin to check out– they are no longer learning! <br />Basic vs Super Charged Brain Breaks <br /> <br />A basic “brain-break” is a 2 or 3 minute break away from the topic currently being taught combined with a movement activity. The best kind of a brain break is a Super Charged Brain Break which entails a movement activity linked to an academic concept. Super Charged Brain Breaks have a double punch by reinforcing an academic concept and introducing a new movement concept or exercise.
