@Ana_moderator
thank you for bringing up such an important topic!
Yes, I regularly use brain breaks with my students, especially during long lessons or after challenging tasks.
Here are a few that work well in my classroom:
-
Energizers – Quick stretching, clapping rhythms, or simple dance moves to upbeat music really help reset the energy.
-
Creative tasks – We sometimes do 2-minute sketching, storytelling chains, or Lego building. These are great for switching focus and boosting creativity.
-
Mindful moments – Breathing exercises or guided mini-meditations are favorites before tests or at the end of the day. Even just watching a calm video or listening to soft nature sounds helps.
I'd love to hear more ideas—what's working best for you and your students?
