Movement Breaks

Movement breaks

Thank you to Zach's Athletics for collaborating with myPITA to create movement break videos for your classroom.
Try these 3-minute movement breaks that engage the whole body. Each movement can be done for 20 seconds with a 10 second break. Before starting, take two deep inhales followed by a short exhale to prepare the body for physical activity.

Also, check out our brain breaks activities!

Let's get started!
