Wriggle Break Cards - to Support children who need movement breaks
A movement break is a short interval to allow children to move their bodies to help to reengage their brain and attention. A movement break is literally that – a break to get up and move. This can really mean anything – stretches, action songs, aerobics, yoga or games. Although this is particularly helpful for children with ADHD or autism it is effective for all children. Quick, frequent breaks not only enable students to stay focused on learning but can actually improve learning.
These cards can be used at times when you assess a child is in need of a break from sitting still or just at regular intervals throughout the day. Simply pass a card to a child when they are becoming agitated, they can carry out the activity and then return to the lesson.
20 different activity cards showing words and images for the child to follow.
