Brain Breaks

A Brain Break might involve movement, stretching, or just some quiet, focused breathing. So, when you're feeling tired, overwhelmed, fuzzy headed, or even jittery or wiggly, try a Brain Break!

Brain Breaks can be as quick and simple as: 

• Going for a walk or jog around the block or the outside of your home 
• Standing up and doing 3 minutes or stretching or jogging in place 
• Colouring
• Taking a 10-15 minute "recess" or play break 
• Listening to music and busting out a few dance moves 
• Taking a 20 minute "screen" break 
• Closing your eyes and focusing on your breathing for 2-3 minutes
