Brain Breaks

A brain break is a short mental break that is taken during regular intervals during classroom instruction. Brain breaks are usually limited to five minutes and work best when they incorporate physical activities. For the little ones in kindergarten, you may want to do a brain break after about five to ten minutes into a task when you notice students starting to wiggle around. Here are some brain breaks that you can use. Please feel free to check the brain break ideas under resources and websites.

Jumping jacks
March or high-step around the house
Run, skip, or grapevine down a hallway (or do a combination of moves)
Do push-ups or planks
Touch elbows to opposite knees
Do yoga poses or stretches
Bear crawl or crab walk across the room and back
Have a dance party—just one or two songs
Give someone at home a hug
Go on an imaginary roller coaster ride: In a chair, mimic putting on a harness, leaning back (as the coaster climbs up a hill), leaning side-to-side (as the coaster twists and turns on the track), raising your hands up high (as the coaster plunges down a hill). You can even add unhooking the harness and stumbling off the coaster at the end.
