What's a Brain Break?

• It's just a short energizing activity. Most take about 1-3 minutes.

Why Use Brain Breaks?

• Brain Breaks help send oxygen to the brain, which helps kids better retain what they learn.
• Movement "turns on the brain." If your students are starting to fidget, that's the telltale sign that their brains are starting to go into sleep mode. Turn their brains back on with a Brain Break!
• Brain Breaks are the perfect transition activity!
• They foster social skills and teamwork!
• Brain Breaks are a reward that students love!
• A Brain Break can reenergize a tired or bored group.
• They help get students' wiggles out.
• They're a great way to encourage physical activity in the classroom.
• KIDS LOVE THEM! - Use the Easel Activity to have students rate their favorite Brain Breaks! They will simply give each option up to 5 stars.

What's Included

• 60 Brain Breaks Task Cards (With or Without Clipart and Color or Black/White)
• 48 Socially Distanced Task Cards (With or Without Clipart and Color or Black/White)

These 60 brain breaks have been carefully selected and created to meet the following criteria:

• They all require students to get up out of their seats and move!
• Every student is involved…none are just watching.
• They can be completed in less than five minutes - many take less than a minute.
• They require very little if any prep - most require no prep at all.
• No special materials are needed - a few require pencils, music, or other easily attainable objects.
• They do NOT require the use of a video or video game.
• They are fun!

Here’s what teachers are saying:

✏️ "I cannot believe how quick these brain breaks go! My kids adore them! They beg me to do another every time (I only allow one though because it isn't recess!) They are usually able to focus better after one of these quick breaks also. They love the brain break where they hide a classmate's shoe...hysterical!" -ILiveToTeach.

✏️ "My fifth graders LOVE these! I don't even want to tell them that they are not my idea! They think I am a genius! 60 seconds of this and they are back on track!" -Mindi St. Peter.

✏️ "My kids love these. I printed them on cardstock and had them laminated. We take turns picking a card from the bag - reading the instructions and leading the activity. Great cards." -Sandra M.
