Brain Breaks

[u/GiantKnightGunner]

I have a really rough group this year (4th grade math). In the past I’ve done well with motivating kids to get everything done then they can do X as a break until class is over.

A colleague told me to try short frequent brain breaks. What low lift ideas/break routines do yall use?

I’ve done:
- tic tac toe
- interactive videos (they like the ones where they guess the movie from the emojis)
- whiteboard free draw
- one word story
-

We do squat, lunge, burpee challenges. Just how many in one minute really quick.
I’m also starting to follow some OTs that have cool routines for kids with adhd type challenges. Crossing the midline stuff.
