Hereโs what teachers are saying:
โ๏ธ “These are great picker-uppers, BUT you can only go so far on these wonderful activities before the kids start wanting variety. I highly recommend getting the full Brain Break set. It’s a big hit with my students. My second graders loved it. This year, I’m teaching 6th, and they are just eating it up.
I let my class president and vice-president take turns leading the brain breaks throughout the day. They pick 4-5 activities to learn and are ready to lead at a moment’s notice.
Who says you can’t get 6th graders to do things…heck, this is the next best thing since sliced bread!” -Jade C.
โ๏ธ “I randomly intergraded this into my slides today during instruction, the kids loved it! I normally will just use a go noodle video as a brain break. This was a great alternative!” -Wendy M.
โ๏ธ “Wow! What a great resource that comes in handy when I really need it! This was very helpful in my classroom! Thank you for creating it!” -Daniela H.

My students loved this activity for a Brain Break! It gave different options based on the number you rolled. They were very engaged in each choice.

I am all about brain breaks and this is a great one. I let the students roll a big dice for added fun.

I used these in class as well as in a cool down room for students who need to take a break. Rolling the di gives them something to focus on instead of their anger or frustrations, helping them to reset. I wish I had found these earlier in the school year.

A great way to mix up how we do brain breaks and add a bit of chance: what will it be today? thank you!

My students loved these quick brain breaks. They want more variety so I added a few more of my own, but this got us off to a great start!

This is probably the most popular thing in my room! I enlarged and laminated it, bought a large foam die and have found THE greatest classroom management tool. It’s so much fun – the kids regulate each other during work time so they can have a brain break. It really is quite entertaining! They know if I don’t have to tell anyone to get back on task or lower the noise level, I’ll get out the die and one lucky winner will get to roll. I set the timer for 10 minutes so there are times we could do this 3 times during a class. Now we’re having fun AND work is getting done!

Love using this resource. Helps students to remain focused. I also incorporate mathematics when using this resource (subitising, adding/subtracting rolls etc)
