Classroom Fitness Breaks to Help Kids Focus

This collection of more than 50 super-fun exercises and games motivates students to get in shape while also helping them focus their attention and develop self-control. The activities are designed to fit into key parts of the daily schedule–class meetings, independent seatwork, walking in the halls, and recess. You can select shorter exercises (1-5 minutes) for quick concentration-boosters during seatwork and transitions or longer recess games (15-20 minutes) to boost students’ heart rates and increase their brain’s capacity to learn. Includes fun extensions for reinforcing content-area learning, such as “Arm-to-Arm Estimation” and “Punctuation Martial Arts,” and more!
