My favorite is the image of unrelated phenomena. I would, of course, ask them, once they know what it is, to relate it to content any way possible.
How many minutes would be alloted to this activity? I really love the idea of Brain Breaks but with a packed curriculum and a rush against time, how often could this be done practically without taking needed minutes away? It's a challenge but how short or long should this Break activity be to benefit students?
The video suggests a 3-5 minute break for every half hour of instruction. It's hard to give up that time, but I have found that if I do make time for a quick break, I get better focus from my students after. Maybe try one 3-5 minute break in your class period and see how it goes?
