Okay, so completing a quiz doesn’t exactly sound like much of a ‘brain break,’ but guess what…kids love it! They really enjoy completing an activity where they are competing against one another and especially when there are prizes up for grabs!

I have chosen this activity to be part of the ‘brain break’ series as it is technically a break from the regular routine of thinking about and doing constant numeracy and literacy activities. Students particularly loved getting into groups at the end of a day and completing the general knowledge questions together. I would call out the question and give them a time limit to write the answer down on a piece of paper. They would then swap their answer sheets with another group to be marked. The highest scoring group would usually win a prize!

AND…as a thank you to those who follow this blog and to anyone who signs up in the months of MAY and JUNE, I will email the ‘A-Z Quiz’ (A pictured) directly to you - FREE! ENJOY!

GoNoOdle provides a range of engaging, interactive activities that enable your students to have a quick ‘brain break’ in class. These ‘brain breaks’ are fun for all (teachers included) and encourage students to be physically active rather than mentally exhausted! Some of the songs and moves in the dance videos (that students have to follow) are hilarious and may have your class in stitches! Be warned…once you have started the GoNoOdle trend, your students will be asking for it every day!
