Teachers! I am so excited to share this amazing website that I use on a daily basis, especially by the end of the year!! As I was searching for brain breaks that were "safe" (as in no beer ads on youtube, ect.) I stumbled on Go Noodle!! It is an amazing site that allows you to create a channel for your class favorite brain breaks and gives access to many original, fun brain breaks.
Research has said that classroom with brain breaks (especially self contained like my crazy first graders are) has more production from students. I use brain breaks as motivation, rewards and even a calming tool.
All you need to do is sign your class up, choose a monster and play! The more minutes your class earns the larger the monster grows! They have very silly brain breaks like KooKoo Kangaroo, just dance brain breaks, athletic brain breaks, indoor recess montages and one of my favorites, c a l m i n g brain breaks that focus on breathing and a kind of kid yoga.
It's fun, gets energy out, and gets kids ready to learn!
