Brain Breaks for Cognitive Wellbeing
Brain breaks are short physical and mental activities which generate positive effects on students’ learning, since they:
enhance students’ engagement and cognitive functioning.
support the cognitive maturity.
enhance students’ mood, focus and competence.
strengthen teacher-student relationship.
The benefit of colouring and arts as brain breaks:
It is good for children’s mental health, since it makes children release stress and helps their body to stay calm and relax.
It promotes mindfulness, which enables children’s focus and helps them to stay in the moment.
It helps children to embrace the imperfectness, because there is no judgement nor expectations for enjoying the beauty of colouring.
