Brain Boost Break Lesson Plan

Students will practice quick movement and mindfulness techniques to re-energize and refocus during the school day, building self-regulation skills for sustained attention and engagement.

Short brain breaks help 1st graders release excess energy, reduce restlessness, and improve focus. By learning simple movement and mindfulness strategies, students gain tools to manage their attention and emotions throughout the day.
