“Energize” is a short, upbeat moment designed to help sleepy or low-energy students wake up their brains and bodies. With a fun colour-matching game, students get to re-focus, move lightly, and boost their alertness before jumping into the next task.
Introduction
“Alright team, before we get started, let’s wake up our brains with a quick energizer.”
Why We’re Doing This
“I’ve noticed we’re feeling a little low-energy, so this quick colour game will help us get focused and ready to learn.”
Get Ready
“When the video starts, pay attention to the colours on the screen and follow the instructions. You can stand or stay seated — whatever feels best — but make sure you have a bit of space.”
Play the Game
Press play on the video.
(Pause halfway if you want)
“Let’s pause for a second — how’s everyone feeling? More awake? Okay, let’s finish it off!”
Notice the Changes
“Take a moment and notice: Do you feel more alert? Warmer? Is your brain feeling more switched on than before?”
Return to the Task
“Alright, now that we’ve got our energy going, let’s jump back into our activity with a fresh start.”
This short brain break video by PE Buddy is designed to gently re-energize students when they’re tired, distracted, or restless, using a simple colour-movement game that helps them move their bodies, reset their focus, and get ready to learn again.
