Monday Made It – Brain Breaks

I feel like my summer to-do list is expanding every single day with new projects thanks to Pinterest and my blogger buddies.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a good project as much as the next gal, but they are taking over my home!  So, you can only imagine my incredible sense of relief that I am able to pull out that highlighter and check-off a major project.  I have done it – I finished my Brain Breaks!
I have never done Brain Breaks in the classroom before.  I had heard the term here and there over the past couple of years and became interested in trying it out this year.  I compiled a list of movements & games that I would do in my own classroom.  I have made two different sets.  Both are available in my TpT store.
Swirls

Red Dots

 

Since I LOVE a good freebie, I am giving away a set of your choice to TWO lucky followers of my blog.  Here are the simple rules:
1.  Follow my blog.
2.  Leave me a comment telling me which set you would prefer.
3.  Make sure to include your e-mail address or a way to contact you if you’re the lucky winner 🙂
That’s it – easy peasy!!  Your comment must be posted by Wednesday, July 18th to be entered. 
So that’s it for today.  Head on over to 4th Grade Frolics and see what everyone else has made!

I’m always on the lookout for new books that help kids with social emotional learning. That’s why I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Tom Percival’s newest book, Ruby Finds a Worry. I think you’ll like it, too!⁣⁣

If you can't find this in your school or local library, it's available on Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/34J4KAQ
