Year 3 Movement Breaks

Take a short movement break to wake up your body and focus your mind. Find a clear space, move in a way that feels safe for you, and stop if anything hurts. You can make each movement smaller, slower or seated. Try the activities, then answer the questions.

Try the moves

Do each activity for about 20 seconds, with a short rest between moves. Invite a partner to copy you, or work on your own.

1.Start with a gentle warm-up: march on the spot or tap your feet while seated. Name one part of your body that is moving.
2.Choose a move from the activities listed on this sheet. Which one did you try, and how did you make it suit you?
3.Try a slow balance pose. What is the safest place to look while balancing?
  • At a steady spot in front of you
  • At your moving feet
  • At someone running past
4.Play Copycat with a partner: one person makes three slow movements and the other copies. Then swap. What helps both people take part fairly?
5.True or false: If a movement feels uncomfortable or painful, you should stop and choose a gentler option.
TrueFalse
6.Imagine your space is small. Write one movement-break action you could do without travelling across the room.

Pause and reflect

Take one slow breath in and out. Notice how your body feels after moving.

7.Choose the best cool-down action after quick marching.
  • Slow your steps and take a calm breath
  • Start sprinting straight away
  • Hold your breath
8.How do you feel after your movement break? Choose one, then add a reason.
9.Create a mini movement break with two safe actions. Write them in the order you would do them.
