After long periods of class time, students have the tendency to get
restless. Many educators believe students need movement and activity in
order to stay engaged in their lessons. This is where the idea of brain
breaks come into play. Brain breaks give students the opportunity to be
active, get to know each other, and refresh their minds. These breaks
usually only last a few minutes with minimal preparation on the
teacher's part.
In this blog, we will share a brain
break idea. Each idea should have directions of how to conduct the brain
break and the appropriate grade level or age range.
