Brain Breaks
In Kindergarten we are always trying our best to learn and grow, but sometimes, we need a break! Brain breaks are opportunities for us to get some of our energy out and move around a bit; giving our minds a little rest. We use the website “gonoodle” as a source for playing Kindergarten appropriate exercise videos and dancing and singing along to the music. We also have 3-second dance parties, do sporadic jumping jacks, and take five singing songs such as “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” and “I’m a Little Teapot.” Kids need many opportunities to regroup and reenergize their bodies and brain breaks are great ways to incorporate some fun “off-task” time while still benefiting the whole child.
