Let’s set the scene: your students are sluggish. One student has his head down on his desk, one is texting, one is sharpening her pencil, seven students are staring blankly at the wall, three are chatting with their neighbor, and the rest are daydreaming about the weekend. No one is interested in the current topic you’re covering. And they’re definitely not participating.

All too familiar, right?

You need a quick way to grab their attention and give them a break at the same time. Brain breaks are designed to get students moving, talking, and thinking about something else so that you can regain their attention. They’re designed to take less than 5 minutes.

We’ve compiled a list of our favorite brain breaks that you can use with a variety of ages. Our advice? Have students stand up to participate.
