My friend Ali compiled a nice list of them at school and I decided to put them here for you too! This first one is my kids' favorite! It's the Gummy Bear Song and I like it too! It really wakes me up in the afternoon.
This one is Sid the Sloth from Ice Age. I like when they show you what the moves are because then we can really follow along.
This one is a Dance Along to the Dinosaur Stomp. It's another one that shows the kids how to do the steps. It seems like the ones where the kids just shake it out don't get as much participation.
If you liked the one above, then you can visit {Koo Koo Kanga Roo's YouTube channel} to check out some more!
I like this booty shakin' video from Madagascar 2 with the song "I Like to Move It."
The kids like these silly frogs too. This one is to "The Ding Dong Song". . .
. . . and The Crazy Frog doing the "Cha Cha Slide," too.
Like I said, why are we the only ones doing the song and dance? Get those kids moving and see the learning sky rocket!
If you would like to check out some more videos, just visit my {Pinterest} board. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for new ones all the time. If you know of some other great brain break videos, leave me a comment and share the love!
Hope you are all enjoying your time away. Be sure to relax so you will be ready for the long haul of January, February, and March!
This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thanks so much for sharing!

I just found your blog & I am always looking for new things to do for our Brain Breaks. We have been doing the Sid Shuffle & some yoga, but this will be a perfect addition. The kids will love it.
ReplyDeleteDo you do anything will music & playlists for transitions in the day other than kids songs?
Thanks again for this fabulous list. I will also be checking out your pinterest boards. Thanks, Jackie
