Classroom Brain Breaks

30 items

Every teacher knows the moment attention collapses, usually about thirty-five minutes in, and knows that pushing through costs more than pausing. Draw a break, run it for two minutes, carry on. Thirty activities needing no equipment and no floor space, scaled from silent to extremely loud so you can pick according to what the corridor can tolerate. Letting a pupil draw is itself part of the reset, and costs nothing.
