Fight Against Fidgeting!
I have a lot of exercise activities that I do with them that are academic in nature, but sometimes we just need a brain break! I found a ton of songs on YouTube that are just perfect for this!
I used my little YouTube trick below to save these videos into a folder on my computer so I can pull them up easily on the Smart Board.
Before you say it... I will: "When am I supposed to have time to do this in class!? My day is already full!" Most of these songs are 2-3 minutes long... and I know that when my kids fidget I sometimes spend more than 2-3 minutes to get them back on task... so youre not taking extra time to do this, youre just re-purposing your time!
Anyway... here are my favorite videos for brain breaks! I embedded the videos here, but the titles of the song will also link you to the video on YouTube if you want to save it from there.
Stand Up, Sit Down
This one is my absolute favorite!!!
Jump
Roar Like a Lion
Stop!
Act It Out
Follow Me
I Can Do It
Can you tell that I just love Patty Shuklas songs?!
Ants in Your Pants
This one is another one of my favorites!
Add and Subtract Body Part Dance
Animal Action
Beanbag Beatbox
Beanbag Beatbox 2
Colors, Colors
Colors Dance
Dance Like an Animal
Fast and Slow Song
If Youre a Kid
Move to the Sounds
My Whole Body Can Move
Shake and Move
The Banana Song
Twist Right and Left
What Can You Do
Exercise and Count By 5s
Thats 24 different songs to help your kids get their fidgeting out in a way that doesnt distract the rest of the class... in fact, its actually in a way that benefits the entire class since theyll all be able to focus better after getting their blood to flow around better!
How do you get your kiddos to stop fidgeting?
