Break up all the talking at the beginning of the year with these grab and go brain break cards! This set includes 60 printable brain break cards with engaging back to school themed activities. Setup is quick and easy for these cards: just print and go, no technology needed!

Brain Breaks are a great management and connection tool for your classroom! They can increase student learning by giving brains downtime to process after a learning activity. Plus brain breaks also contribute to the tone of your classroom by keeping the mood light and providing movement and connection opportunities.

Here’s what you’ll get in this set:

• 60 full-color printable back to school brain breaks
• 60 black and white printable back to school brain breaks (these look great on brightly colored paper!)

Print these cards in advance and keep them on hand for the moment that you need them! We like to organize them by type of activity (recharge, refocus, refresh) and keep each one on a metal ring or in a task card box.

We have 3 types of brain break activities:

✅ Recharge – these brain breaks are for movement. Use these when you need kids to get the wiggles out! They’re likely to elicit lots of giggles.

✅ Refocus – these are brain breaks that involve concentration like meditation and controlled movement to prepare students to focus again.

✅ Refresh – these brain breaks will engage your students’ minds in fun activities that will make them smile.

❤️ Your students will love how these activities allow them to relax, laugh, move, and connect with their classmates. These brain breaks are likely to become some of their favorite classroom activities ever! And you’ll love how easy they are to use.

Brain breaks can be used in so many ways:

• before starting a rigorous lesson
• during transitions
• when energy is low
• if students are restless or fidgety
• to break up the monotony of testing
• as a reward for focused effort
• to fill the last few minutes before the bell
• as a celebration
• for a Morning Meeting activity

Brain Breaks are very versatile; you can use them in lots of different situations and they can be scheduled into your daily routine. Using frequent brain breaks throughout the day will help keep all students engaged all day long!
