Brain Breaks!

Good Morning Families! Another tool that I have found useful is to include Brain Breaks during your child’s day, especially when completing schoolwork at tabletop. For some children, it’s difficult to sit and sustain attention on task for several minutes. Breaking up the schoolwork with some movement will help with attention! I have listed below ideas to include for movement/brain breaks, but you can be creative! You do not need to use any equipment for these!

  • Animal walks: Kangaroo jumps, frog hops, bear walks, crab walks
  • Jumping jacks, push ups
  • Wall Pushes
  • Carry around household items: Laundry basket, heavy books, backpack
  • Crawling on the floor
  • Yoga poses
