Giving students the opportunity to get up and move during the instructional day is more popular than ever! Brain breaks give students a time-out from all that hard thinking they do in class and gives them opportunities throughout the day to get their muscles moving, blood flowing, and heart rate up. Our ADHD children would appreciate these breaks and it would lessen frequency of fidgeting among students. Our excitable students would have an outlet during brain breaks and students will be able focus on the next lesson.
