Brain Breaks Printable Cards: Gross Motor Movement for Active Breaks

This brain break resource includes 12 large motor movement cards and an individual mini schedule you can use to get your students moving their bodies. I created both a book for whole class movement breaks as well as smaller schedule cards for individual students. Here’s how some teachers are using these brain break cards: Open gym Indoor recess Brain breaks Transitions Gym class Morning meeting Outdoor recess Sensory breaks Motor Movements Include: Run Walk backwards Bear crawl Frog jump Hop on one foot Jump on two feet March Crab walk Army crawl Jumping jacks Star jumps Lunges Printables included: Two sizes of movement cards Half page Mini cards for individual schedules Each labeled card shows stick figure performing action Comes in color and black and white versions ⭐ Teachers like you love this resource ⭐ I used these visuals in a movement activity as a silent cue for how students should move after completing a task. The visuals were clear and the kids were super engaged in the activity. We all loved the bear walk / crab walk cards. Thank you for this resource. Have used these to create small activity cards for students to use individually for a body break when they lose focus and for whole class brain breaks. I placed these cards around the school hallways to give different gross motor activities for my student to do when we had movement breaks during learning. He loved them all and it was also fun watching other students in the school utilize them as they were walking somewhere.
