Hello dear teachers,
Sometimes students just need a quick refresh to regain focus especially after long tasks or in warm weather so usually try these trick in my classroom one short and fun brain break i use is called “Quick Think.” It takes only 2–3 minutes helps with vocabulary and boosts energy in the classroom
How to Play (Step-by-Step):
🧠 Goal:
Get students thinking fast while reviewing vocabulary in a fun way.
1️⃣ Give them a random letter.
Let’s say you choose the letter “S.”
2️⃣ Tell students they have 30 seconds to write:
1 noun starting with S
1 verb starting with S
1 adjective starting with S
Example Answer:
Noun: Sun
Verb: Sing
Adjective: Soft
3️⃣ After time’s up ask them to share with their seat partner.
Why?
It helps students learn new words from each other
Builds confidence for shy learners
Adds a fun interactive moment in the lesson
️ Example:
Alia says: “I wrote Sun, Sing, Soft.”
Sara says: “I wrote Soap, Slide, Sweet!”
4️⃣ End with a quick class clap
“Let’s clap everyone"
5️⃣ Return to your lesson.
Now the class is refreshed focused and ready to learn!
