Holly Jolly Christmas Brain Breaks

Some of the fun brain breaks may include a variety of:
*Fun Christmas jokes (appropriate jokes only - if the teacher feels a joke is going anywhere that is inappropriate, the teacher will kindly redirect the learner and ask if they have a clean class friendly joke to share.)
*Draw Santa Claus with your eyes closed (optional: if the students want their eyes open, they can do that too) - and share our fun creations with the class
*Christmas-themed dance-athon 
*Go round robin and name favorite things about Christmas (trying to do it with the last letter of the previous learners choice) 
*Rudolph Says - like Simon Says, but with a Christmas twist (eg: Santa says sing Jingle Bells, Santa says build a snowman, Santa says open presents, Santa says laugh at the elf on the shelf) 
*Fun Discussion: Where is a funny place you have found your Elf on a Shelf?
*Would you rather - (eg: Would you rather ride in Santa's sleigh or ride on the Polar Express? Would you rather sing Christmas carols or bake yummy Christmas cookies?)

There are many awesome benefits to having some fun brain breaks including: 
- having more overall joy and positivity in your life
- sparking extra creativity in your brain
- pushing that reset button that your mind and body definitely need from time to time
- finding some extra courage to do things you maybe wouldn't normally do
- helping to boost those socialization skills while having a fun time with peers
- destressing and finding some healthy ways for extra motivation
                            
I look forward to having your child in class soon!
