15-Minute Brain Gym: A Simple Tool for Calm Classrooms and Better Focus
Do you ever feel like your students are unfocused, restless, or emotionally reactive — no matter how engaging your lesson is? You’re not alone.
The modern classroom is full of distractions, and many students are struggling with anxiety, sensory overload, and learning challenges. But there’s one simple tool that can help you reset your class in just 15 minutes a day: Brain Gym®.
🧠 What is Brain Gym®?
Brain Gym® is a series of 26 simple physical movements that help students (and teachers!) activate both sides of the brain, improving:
Attention and memory
Emotional regulation
Coordination and handwriting
Readiness to learn
✏️ Why It Works in the Classroom
Many students today are neurologically disorganised. Brain Gym® helps:
Calm the nervous system
Improve sensory processing
Prepare the body for seated learning
These aren’t just “brain breaks.” They're neurologically activating techniques based on decades of educational kinesiology research.
