Brain Breaks - Keeping Students Engaged

  • Physical Activity Breaks Brain breaks are research-based and their efficacy has been scientifically proven. Brain Breaks are a quick and effective way of changing or focusing the physical and mental state of the learners in your group. They are useful tool to use to help activate, energize and stimulate the brain that  improves students’ concentration and relieve stress. 
     
    The most effective brain breaks incorporate some level of physical movement in order to stimulate neurological pathways and help both hemispheres of the brain work together.  
     
    Students should have a kinesthetic brain break every 25-30 minutes. Brain break activities do take about 1-3 minutes of class time to complete; however, the efficiency of our students goes up when brain breaks are incorporated. Brain breaks are refreshing for both students and teachers.  You should participate too!
