Winter Brain Breaks to Energize Students for Learning

Last updated on January 22nd, 2023 at 08:05 pm

After the holidays, it seems like a looong time until the next break! During this time teachers tend to pick up the learning pace and really hone in on what their students need to get them to the next level. However, we still need to remember to give those brains a break on a regular basis during lessons.

This will give you a chance to check your pace, prepare materials for the next lesson, jot down a few notes, or just take a few breaths. It will, also, give your students a chance to move around, rehydrate, catch up if they fell a bit behind, and digest what they’ve just been taught. Giving your students a break will prepare them to have increased attention and focus for the next task. Click here for an informative article that discusses the benefits of brain breaks.
