Quick Brain Break Activities

Choose movements that feel safe for you. Make sure you have a clear space, move gently, and stop if anything hurts. Follow your teacher’s guidance.

Move and Reset

Try each movement for the suggested time. Keep enough space around you and move at a pace that feels comfortable.

1.Side-step and reach: Step your feet apart, bring them together, then repeat while reaching your arms up and down. Continue for 30 seconds.
2.March with a knee lift: March on the spot, lifting one knee and then the other. Let your arms swing naturally for 30–45 seconds.
3.Pick a safe animal-style move, such as gentle frog hops or a bear walk. Travel a short distance and return for up to 30 seconds.
4.Imagine a light balloon floating above you. Reach up to tap it, then take a small step to either side and tap again. Continue gently for 30 seconds.
5.Balance check: Stand near a clear space, lift one foot slightly and balance for 10 seconds. Change feet and try again. Keep your eyes on one spot.
6.Quick little steps: Run lightly on the spot with small steps for 20 seconds. Keep your shoulders relaxed.
7.Stand up and sit down slowly from a stable chair. Repeat for up to 30 seconds, using your hands for support if needed.
8.Reach both hands above your head, then gently turn your upper body a little to the left and right. Finish with a comfortable reach towards your knees.
9.To settle, roll your shoulders slowly forwards and backwards. Then take three calm, steady breaths.
