Move with Purpose
Boost Productivity. Improve Behavior. Relieve Anxiety
Students of all ages should take short BRAIN BREAKS between assignments. Studies show students who get up and move for a few minutes between classes/lessons do much better than those who remain sedentary. BRAIN BREAKS boost productivity, improve behavior, and enhance focus so students can do their best.
Click on the link below to visit GONoodle to find short videos with good MOVES to use during BRAIN BREAKS. Bookmark it to use throughout the day. This site is especially good for K-8th but really these things or these types of movement are great for all ages. A second link is included below with a specific video that can help students learn to relieve anxiety. Have your student gives these links a try.
