“Brain breaks are simple physical and mental exercises. They have a positive effect on learning by:
“*increasing engagement and cognitive functioning,
*supporting the brain maturation process,
*enhancing focus, mood and learning,
*increasing students’ perceived competence,
*improving classroom behaviour,
*and strengthening teacher-student relationships.
“Furthermore, if the brain breaks are physical, they have the additional benefits of:
“*increasing circulation,
*increasing the oxygen in the bloodstream which leads to improved concentration,
*and allowing the students to get out of their chairs.”
