Lisa bucholz.   In my EL classroom I use brain breaks every hour.  Even though my students are adults we still take breaks.  I have turned off the lights and had them listen to relaxing music and I also play relaxation music quietly in the background during individual work time.  Brain breaks are important not only for the students but the teachers as well.

One classroom that I observed used a website called gonoodle. The students loved the activities  and always looked forward to their gonoodle breaks during the day. The teacher called them brain breaks, it would be used as transitions or when she could tell her class had energy they needed to get rid of.

I really love GoNoodle so I would love to incorporate that into my classroom time!

GoNoodle is used very often in any of the elementary schools that I have been in and students always love it!

I've seen teachers take a brain breaks and they run in places to wake up, or doing yoga poses.

I love any kind of brain break that involves movement. Even if it's taking a second to shake the wiggles out!

I love having students move after they have been sitting for a while. It gets them excited and ready for the next time they have to sit for awhile.

While having students answer questions that might have different answers you can assign different parts of the room for different answers and have them move to each section for each question.

I have used gonoodle during morning meeting. I also like to use songs that include movement with my little preschoolers.

Brain Breaks are always a great way to get students moving around! Taking 2 minutes to walk around or do jumping jacks or even run in place. I also love incorporating music throughout the day, so little dance parties will probably happen in my classroom!

I love using brain breaks with GoNoodle. Koo Koo kangaroo is from Minneapolis so that's always a neat fact. For younger children I like Patty Shukla, Pancake manor, Jack Hartman, and Learning Station. Using learning movement videos along with a lesson though can concrete the information.

This year I have seen Brain breaks in action and I think that is a great way to incorporate movement. I like how the book has different activities, and the kids seem to enjoy them.

I like breaking up subjects by having the children sing and dance to song that fit each season. I also have been in a classroom that uses gonoodle.

I believe students need movement all through the day. I have used music and movement at morning meeting time and during transitions.

I like the idea of incorporating learning centers, which involve movement and activity. At our school we also make use of a SMART room with various activities. This is a great brain and activity break for kids.

One way to incorporate movement in the classroom is to let the students get up and read during transitions.  This also allows the students to practice reading.

I use movement in my classroom daily, as a transition, or even as an actual part of my day, I also use movement when working on various subjects like sorting and so forth.

As a brain break, I would use a series of games that require movement and would teach a value (e.g. self-control) within the game.

One way I've observed is using GoNoodle movement song videos. The teacher had a "song helper" student every day who got to choose the song/video we moved to. We used this during a time after the students sat for awhile.

I would use GoNoodle for brain breaks. Also, use a scavenger hunt, or "walk the room" activities where kids have to find cards with math/ word problems on them

I have observed in a classroom when a teacher notices students are not as engaged he will put on Go Noodle. It is a site that gets the students active and hopefully refocused.

I observed in a classroom that had brain breaks throughout the day. During this time, they would stop whatever they were doing and play a music video that they would all get up and dance to. I really liked this because it got the kids moving after sitting for a long period of time, and then they could refocus when they were done.

For grades Pre-K through1st you could have them go around the room and find examples of what you are talking about in class, such as go find a certain letter in the classroom, or find something that starts with the letter "s".
