A great Brain Break that I saw in a classroom once was using Just Dance on the SMART board. This teacher would let the student helper of the day pick the song that they wanted they to dance to and then everyone would follow the actions. The teachers turned out some of the lights and the students would have a great time dancing and singing. It was a really good technique to use to get students to shake the sillys out and use up some of their excess energy, or to reenergize some of those students who needed a little bit of a pick me up.

This is an awesome idea! We often have dance parties in our house. Sometimes they are spurred on when the kids are too riled up to get ready for bed. So we have our dance parties to help get their energy out. A post on my blog soon to come.
