REACTION PAPER ON BRAIN BREAK

Since learning is not a passive activity, there is frequently a lot going on within
a school at any given time. A buzz can be felt the instant you set foot inside a school
because many students and teachers will be moving throughout the building during
the day as they go to meetings, have lunch, and prepare for dismissal.

In today's classrooms, brain breaks are a need. Students that take brain
breaks become more focused and have more blood flowing through their brains,
which enhances learning. Whether you are in elementary, middle, or high school,
they may really help you refocus. Brain breaks come in numerous varieties and
serve a variety of functions. As mentioned by the reporter, mingle games, what I am
game, letter writing, Icebreaker Pictionary, show and tell and anything else that might
test the brain are a few examples of brain breaks. As according to research, today's
kids retain sixty percent more of what they learn in class when brain breaks are
incorporated into the regular learning process.

Brain breaks are deliberate learning shifts that give the brain a chance to
refresh itself. They are opportunities to restore the flow of information, or traffic, so
that it can go to its intended destination. Students can transition between multiple
brain networks during brain rests, which revitalizes and refocuses the resting path
and improves memory retention after a break. For me, brain breaks are mental
relaxation activities and these breaks will improve our ways of thinking and foster
learning in all of its forms.
