Learning is most effective when students are active, happy, and engaged. At Beaconhouse Elementary Campus, Jamshed Road, we make sure our classrooms are full of energy and enthusiasm — not just during lessons but also in between them. To keep young learners refreshed and focused, teachers introduce Brain Break videos — short, lively movement and dance activities that give students a chance to relax and recharge.
These breaks are more than just fun moments; they play an important role in improving focus, coordination, and emotional well-being. When children take a few minutes to stretch, dance, or move to music, they return to learning with fresh energy and a positive mindset.
Our students truly enjoy their favourite Brain Breaks, from catchy tunes to silly dance moves that bring laughter and joy into the classroom. Some popular choices include:
-
GoNoodle – “Banana Banana Meatball”
-
The Learning Station – “Boom Chicka Boom”
-
Koo Koo Kanga Roo – “Pop See Ko”
-
Just Dance Kids – “Happy”
-
Jack Hartmann – “Shake Your Sillies Out”
These short activities are easy to follow and can be done right in the classroom. Teachers use them between lessons or after long periods of sitting to keep children alert and motivated.
At Beaconhouse, we believe movement supports learning. Through Brain Breaks, our students not only have fun but also build confidence, creativity, and focus — proving that learning with joy lasts a lifetime.
