Have you heard of GoNoodle.com?
Well...you need to go, if you haven't! It's a super fun brain breaks website for your class. It features tons of dance and kid-friendly videos to move to. It also has relaxation videos. You and your class can create an avatar. This avatar grows and becomes a champion as your class accrues more minutes doing brain breaks or exercises. My first grade students last year...LOVED it!
Classroom management tip here: I told them they needed to show me UH-MAZING focus during our lesson and independent work and if they did well...then...GO NOODLE! They got to work and stayed focused ASAP...with the excitement and anticipation of a brain break in mind!
On top of fun...it's free to sign-up! And you know how I love FREE. :)
Please come back and post a comment about how your students reacted to it. Thanks!
Enjoy!
