What is a brain break?

A brain break is a short pause in the school day, usually one to five minutes, where kids move, laugh or switch to something playful before going back to learning. Teachers use them between lessons, after long stretches of sitting, and whenever the room needs a reset.

Good brain breaks are short, need no setup and work for the whole class at once. That is what everything on Brain Break Lab is built for:

Movement breaks like This or That, where every answer is a move.
Thinking breaks like the riddle of the day, a two-minute puzzle that builds vocabulary.
Calm breaks like Mahjong Connect and tangram puzzles for after recess.
