BRAIN BREAK IDEAS WHILE YOU ARE LEARNING AT HOME: Each week I will add more to the list.

#1) Activity Jar: Children need to get out of their seat and shake the sillies out. Fill a jar with folded up bits of paper with physical movements on them. Every now and then have your student pick one out and let them get moving! Here are a few ideas below:

#2) GoNoodle.com is a fantastic, fun website that encourages students to stay active. Setting up an account is easy and free. I have always recommended this website to classroom teachers when they are feeling that their class is losing focus. Here is an example of one of their brain break videos.

**SPORTS CHARADES Game

Set-Up • Designate 1 player to be the actor (the person whose first name starts with a letter closest to H goes first). • All others are the guessers. • Stand 10 feet away from the actor, with all guessers at least 6 feet apart.

Game Instructions • The object of Sports Charades is for the guessers to call out the sport that the actor is demonstrating. • Actors cannot speak or make sounds — only movements. • Choose a sport from the list below. Do not choose a sport that has already been used. • Be creative! Can you think of a fun and appropriate sport to act out? Share it with the adult activity leader (secretly!) and ask if you can use it when you’re the actor.

Sports List: Archery / Baseball / Basketball / Golf / Hockey / Horse racing / Soccer / Volleyball / Football /

Shot-put / Car racing.....and any others others you might think of.
