Go Noodle --Who doesn't need a brain break?

Learning is a taxing thing! Sometimes you just need a break to calm down and focus or get up and energize. Go Noodle (www.gonoodle.com) is a wonderful free website for these transitions.  Create a free teacher account and make a class for each of the groups you teach. Each class picks an avatar that will grow and change as the group accumulates brain break time.

Some breaks, like Airtime, encourage deep breathing while you travel across the USA and discover fun facts about the places you land. Other breaks, like Zumba and Koo Koo Kanga Roo, ask students to get on their feet and move. Plus the sing alongs of popular songs like Frozen's "Let It Go" and Pharrell's "Happy" are just great fun.
