Focus 1-2-3 1.1

Brain breaks designed to calm, energize, or prepare students for optimal engagement.

In under five minutes, transform states from

• fidgety to focused,
• restless to alert,
• dazed to engaged, and
• bored to motivated.

These thoughtfully developed strategies draw from neuroscience, mindfulness practices, occupational therapy, and active learning methodologies.

They aim to:

• Foster positive learning environments,
• Address the needs of diverse learners and support the development of the whole child,
• Enhance social-emotional skills to boost energy levels and learning outcomes.

  The process is straightforward:

  1. Select a Card.
  2. Read and Lead.
  3. Establish a positive learning mindset.

  Implement Calm Down Cards after activities to help students relax and reset. Use Wake Up Cards prior to academic tasks to stimulate circulation and mental alertness. Deploy Gear Up Cards during transitions to energize bodies and minds efficiently.
