Turn everyday classroom materials into engaging movement experiences that students will ask to play again and again. The Brain Break Movement Games Toolkit includes a collection of printable fitness games designed to increase movement, attention, executive functioning, teamwork, and engagement using materials you likely already have in your classroom. Instead of traditional workout sheets, students create, customize, and play interactive movement games using:
- Dice
- UNO cards
- Playing cards
- Coins
- Jenga blocks
- Tic-Tac-Toe boards
- Hexagon challenge boards
- Printable exercise cards
Every activity encourages movement while strengthening executive functioning skills such as planning, working memory, cognitive flexibility, problem solving, self-regulation, and task persistence.
Each game is customizable, educators can adapt activities for different ages, abilities, classrooms, therapy sessions, homeschool environments, and physical education programs.
Whether you need a quick five-minute brain break or a full movement station, this toolkit provides dozens of reusable options that can be used throughout the entire school year.
