Everyone needs a brain break from time to time, especially children who are working hard several hours each day. I love to use GoNoodle for a quick burst of activity or to set us up for a successful day. Students also love the fun videos, so it’s a win-win.
GoNoodle gets children active and ready to learn throughout the day. When I notice that my students need a quick brain break, we often turn to some guided dancing by the KIDZ BOP Kids. We also love Maximo, a yoga instructor monkey (shown in the image above)! When it’s time to calm down and focus, or to set us up for a successful day, I play anything from the Think About It series or Flow.
Brain breaks are important for children because they boost oxygen flow throughout the body, and improve brain function. There are many ways to incorporate these quick activities into the classroom, but I would highly recommend trying GoNoodle. Also, check out this post, from the GoNoodle blog, with 10 great ways to use GoNoodle at home!
