This activity is a great brain boost. There is also a lesson that accompanies this brain boost which teaches students the importance of their brains. One activity involves drawing a brain and different stresses held within the brain another deviation of that is to draw the brain and what functions each portion of the brain serves. 
Nutrition, sleep, and other factors which increase brain productivity are also discussed throughout the lesson.

Description: This website includes a variety of different activity ideas and additional links to resources that could be used to find other types of activity bursts. 
Activity Burst: Take a song that students already know. Rewrite the words and come up with actions for the students to perform during the song. This could be used in any subject area depending on the lyrics and it adds movement to the lesson.

Website Address: https://sph.uth.edu link to the PDF document https://sph.uth.edu/research/centers/dell/resources/APAL_Brain%20Breaks.pdf
Description: The PDF document has a multitude of activities with specific content areas. 
Activity Burst: The activity is titled Over-Under-Around-Through. Students will be in groups of 3 with 2 of the students holding scarves to create a circle. The teacher will say directions like over, under, around, and through. The other group member will have to complete the task in that sequence. The academic focus is on vocabulary.

Description:
Have students work with a partner. One of the students will get a small Play-Doh can. They will then bring it back to their desk and have 1 minute to make an animal, vegetable, fruit, etc (the student creating the object will not show their partner until the minute is up.) The students partner will only get three guesses for what the animal is. the Students will then switch and follow the same steps.
When I would use it:
-I would use this activity with a creativity lesson. They will be able to be creative with what they are making with Play-Doh.

Description: In this game students mill about the classroom saying, “mingle, mingle, mingle” in soft voices until the teacher says, “Groups of 5,” at which point the students must quickly group themselves into groups with the correct number of people. Students who are left over must do three jumping jacks before the next round starts. The teacher can call out any number for the group size. You can also add rules such as: as soon as a group is complete, all members must sit down in a line.
Would I would use it:
-This activity would be a good way to put people into groups (4th-5th grade). You could also use it as a counting game for 1st graders.

Description: This is a PDF document with a variety of activity bursts and information of why they are beneficial to include in the classroom. 
Activity Burst: The activity is titled Tick Tock. The teacher will say “Tick Tock it’s four o’clock.” Based on the number the students would perform that many of a certain action, such as 4 jumping jacks. This works on telling time and numbers.

Description: This source contains many in school activity break ideas. 
Activity Burst: Shake It is the title of this brain boost. This would be good for younger students who are learning their numbers. They will start by shaking their right hand 10 times, then their left hand, right foot, and left foot. They count down and repeat this until they reach 1.

Description: Have students spread out across the room and play one school-appropriate song. Let kids dance along until the music stops. Encourage students to hold their position until the music restarts. Repeat sequence as desired.
When I would use it:
- I would use this activity if the students needed to get their energy out

Description: Find an area where you can safely toss a ball around. No one can talk or make a sound – being silent is the aim of the game. The ball is tossed between classmates. Students cannot throw the ball back to the person who threw it to them. If a player misses the ball, talks, or makes a bad pass, that student is out. The last two players are the champions.
When I would use it:
I would use this activity when the students are very loud and off topic. This will make them concentrate and be quiet.

Description: Play the song "bear hunt". While the song is playing the students will repeat what the song says. They will also do actions that go alone with the song.
When I would use it:
I would incorporate it in an animal lesson or a bear book. This would be a good activity for kindergarteners.

Description: This website contains activities for creating active students who are engaged learners. 
Activity Burst: The activity is titled Move and Mull. This is similar to walk and talk, but would be done in groups of 3-5 students. Each student will share their thoughts and walk around in a circle. Then the class will come together and discuss. This could be used when discussing a book that was read or talking about a science concept.

Description: This website has over 25 different ideas that teachers can use for small chunks of classroom time where they want students to be active. It breaks the content into younger and older elementary age groups. The target audience of this page is teachers.
Activity: "Animal Walk"
For this activity, students would write an animal on a slip of paper and crumple it up. Then, they would throw the piece of paper on the floor and the teacher would take turns reading an animal out loud while students walk around the room as that animal.

Description: This website is teacher focused and has several videos that could easily facilitate a brain break while in transition between activities.
Activity: Fast Fitness-Mirroring
In this activity, students are in group of two where one student completes a motion (ex. jumping jack) and the other mirrors them.  Then, the second student adds another movement and they continue for as long as the video plays/teacher wants.

Description: This website has lesson plans and shorter activities that involve movement in the classroom. It is teacher focused and has a wide range of content.
Activity: Concentration
In this activity, students use a combination of clapping a rhythm and saying numbers/names. A movement adaptation could be having the students walk in a circle instead of sit. ]]> 2019-11-14 04:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/darrell_olson/ifpc1zbiw0te/wish/411008398 Action for Healthy Kids ecurfman_g https://padlet.com/darrell_olson/ifpc1zbiw0te/wish/411008898 Website Address:

Description: This website has both articles and videos with ideas for brain breaks. It also provides helpful tips for teachers while including brain breaks in your daily routine.
Activity: Olympic Brain Breaks
This would be a series of brain breaks where students would learn about an olympic sporting event (track and field was the example used) and complete a mini version of that even. So, students could learn about the shot put and use a softer ball to practice this movement. ]]> 2019-11-14 04:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/darrell_olson/ifpc1zbiw0te/wish/411008898 GoNoodle ecurfman_g https://padlet.com/darrell_olson/ifpc1zbiw0te/wish/411009588 Website Address: https://www.gonoodle.com/
Description: This is a website that I've seen several teachers use for brain breaks. It has mini workout videos, dance videos, and songs that students may recognize. The only drawback is this website, from what I could tell, is a membership based website. 
Activity: Blazer Fresh
This is one of the videos that I saw students dance to in the second grade classroom that I was in. Students studies the lyrics in read to self time and were able to move/dance while they sang along with the lyrics.
