Brain Gym Lesson Plan

Students will engage in a 15-minute sequence of movement-based brain breaks to sharpen attention, speed up task-switching, and build organizational skills through structured warm-up cards, a relay challenge, and a focused breathing cooldown.

Strengthening executive functions early helps 2nd graders regulate attention, transition smoothly between tasks, and develop self-organization. Embedding fun routines supports classroom readiness and boosts academic and emotional success.
