Brilliant "Brain Breaks" Video Tips!
We know about the importance of brain break videos but sometimes transition times using videos with our students can be a problem. For a great tip on how to handle this and 2 other great tips for using brain breaks, watch this Managing Brain Breaks video by Bevin K. Reinen from her teachtrainlove.com site. She also has a ton of videos on her site that she created and 1 was even included in the top pins on Pinterest for 2013.
*You can find more fun brain break videos at The Learning Station.
*Most of you are already fans of Go Noodle, but if you haven't checked it out yet, here is the link.
*Minds in Bloom has a list of 20 (3 minute) brain break videos, click here.
Does anyone know of some great brain break videos that they would like to share, please let me know!
