The Beach Brains and I take 5-6 minutes out of our day to do some kind of physical activity to do in-class. We call it a brain break. YouTube (if unblocked in your district) has several different Just Dance Kids videos my kids absolutely love. When we dance, I set very explicit expectations: be safe, practice self-control, and have fun! Here are some of our favorites and we challenge you to cut some rug during your next brain break! :)

Got the Wiggles? Just Dance!
I can't believe I've gone almost a week without posting anything! Actually... I can. It's been the most insane and hectic week and a half ever, but I am glad to say it's beginning to calm down a bit. My kids at school have caught a bit of the "spring fever". Spring Break is right around the corner and they're ready for a break. With this in mind, I am dedicating this post to all teachers out there who's classes have a serious case of the wiggles!

You should also checkout Adventures to Fitness! It wouldn't be good for a brain break because Mr. Marc's wild adventures are kind of long (30 min) but they are GREAT for indoor recess and FREE to teachers!

Ms. T - thanks for the tip! I've never heard of Adventures to Fitness! Next time we have an indoor recess, we'll have to try it out! Thanks again! :)
DeleteMy kids love the gummy bear song and the crazy frog!

Josh,
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Thanks for the wonderful idea! We usually play quick games for our brain breaks, but I know my kiddos would LOVE getting up and dancing to these songs!! Also, I awarded you the One Lovely Blog Award! Come to my site to check it out!
