Brain Breaks ~ Gangnam Style!

Today, my team and I had the pleasure of visiting another teacher in our district to watch her teach math workshop. It was AWESOME! Of course, as you all know, that isn't all we got out of our visit! 

There we tons of great ideas and I'm going to share some with you another day. But for today, I have to let you know that they did some of the coolest brain breaks! Of course, I want to share them with you! I can't wait to show them to my kids! They will FREAK! Check these out!









So . . . who's gonna be the rockinest teacher in the school? That would be me . . . and YOU can be too!

Big Time Brain Breaks Needed During Late Math

Well, today was the first day back at school after winter break. It was so great to see my little nuggets and they did an awesome job! However, today during math, we all hit a wall . . . Big Time! So, what do you think we did? A BRAIN BREAK of course! Today was the {Sid Shuffle}. Check out the great dancers we have in math! 



LOL What do you think? Awesome, right?! Now we are working on settling right down and getting right back to work. It took us about a minute and a half today. We did just back from vacation, but we are going to try for 30 seconds tomorrow! 

Have you tried brain breaks with your kids yet? You need to do it! I'm telling you, it will help you out too. When I'm not filming I'm jumping around with the kids too!

Don't forget to stop by the big giveaway going on!
Enter to win a flash drive full of teaching resources for your grade!



Thanks for stopping by! Get wiggling!

Brain Breaks are a BLAST!


Have you ever felt like you need to do a song and dance to get your kids to hear even one word you are saying? Yeah, me too! I figure if I have to do a song and dance, then they do too! We have started doing brain breaks and it has been a life saver! 

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!
