Children get bored. As educator’s it is imperative to our students success that we find ways to keep children engaged and excited about learning.
Icebreakers are an excellent way to break up long lessons in a class and redirect students when they are starting to get side tracked. As a teacher how are you suppose to know when your students will need a Brain Break?
Purpose: This blog was a way to use class time to create a virtual resource binder so I can efficiently flip through my work and find the perfect ice breaker to fit my students needs.
Materials: Choosing more ice breaks that do not require any set up is how I managed to collect a video of instant classroom activities
Benefits: Students learn to regulate their learning to avoid getting overwhelmed. These activities are a great way to teach students to ask for breaks. Each Icebreaker also fits into different aspects of student learning so students can remain on task while still getting up and letting loose.
