October! The time for falling leaves, colors changing and the winds of excited kindergarten students who need to move. Students are wiggly, so I’ve gathered up some fun and effective Halloween brain breaks for Kindergarten.
It’s fun to add in thematic brain breaks for your students. Something new always creates some enthusiasm and helps get everyone’s attention.
HALLOWEEN BRAIN BREAKS FOR KINDERGARTEN
Short brain breaks are super effective that don’t disrupt or take away from your other learning activities too.
Some of the brain breaks can be great starters for your literacy activities.
Other’s are going to give students a great workout.
Finally, some of these Halloween brain breaks are going to teach things like Count to 100 and ABC’s.
Are you ready to have some HALLOWEEN FUN!
