What is a Busy Brain Break?

A Busy Brain Break is a short bout of physical activity, designed to be completed right in the classroom, eliminating the need for additional equipment or outdoor space.

Our physical activity videos, accessed through our online platform, are a breath of fresh air for students and serve as an innovative solution for teachers who want to increase movement in the classroom, giving their children a chance for a short break.

Busy Brain Breaks work to increase levels of physical activity and to develop movement skill ability. We have videos ranging from 2 to 5 minutes, all of which are evidence-based and have been designed to be quick, easy, and straightforward to deliver. Meaning they don't consume valuable teaching time and require little to no preparation.
