Exercise and learning go hand in hand. Regular brain breaks enhance attentiveness, concentration and focus. They accelerate learning by allowing children to release their energy, anxiety and stress. Brain breaks also increase circulation and promote physical fitness and coordination.
We’ve put together 20 fun, energizing brain breaks videos. These action, dance and movement songs make it easy for you to integrate brain breaks into your classroom. They are also great activity songs for physical education, circle time or indoor recess.
