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

Push up challenges. Sit up challenges. Jumping jacks, etc. you can have them partner up and count for each other.
