Classroom Brain or Proprioceptive Stretch Break by Occupational Therapists

Children often find it difficult to pay attention in class. Whilst many of us as educators experience it, not many of us know why. There are often a variety of reasons why children do not concentrate and may be disruptive. This behaviour is often the cause of a child's sensory profile, which may require giving them more movement based activities to provide stimulation.

This proprioceptive/brain/stretch break has been tried and tested across multiple clinics and schools by my colleagues and employees. We have used this for children from pre-kindy all the way up to twelve, with superb results. It comes with step by step instructions for each pose, which can be done all at once, or a few at once.

What this pack contains:

1. 19 picture cards of exercises for proprioceptive input
2. 19 explanation cards to help you correct poses and provide proprioceptive input
3. One page outlining what proprioception is and its importance in a classroom setting.
4. One reference list which this package was based off.
