What is a brain break?

A brain break is a 1–2 minute movement or mindfulness reset between lessons. Research links short active breaks to better focus. Spin the wheel, do the activity together, then return to learning refreshed.

How to use it

  1. When energy dips, spin the brain break wheel.
  2. Do the activity together for about a minute.
  3. Return to the lesson — no setup, no materials needed.

Common questions

How long should a brain break last?

Sixty to ninety seconds is plenty. The wheel's activities are designed to fit inside two minutes.

Can I add my class's favorite breaks?

Yes — add your own go-to energizers and remove any that don't fit your space.

Does it work for remote teaching?

Yes. Share your screen, spin, and have students do the activity on camera or off.
