    The document describes two movement breaks that can be used in the classroom. The first has students either squat or jump when the teacher calls out past tense or non-past tense verbs. It gets competitive by eliminating those who move incorrectly. The second, called Copy Cat Copycat, has students paired up taking turns mimicking each other's movements without equipment for an active brain break combining movement and memorization.

    Movement break

    Up/Down
    Have the class stand in an open area. Tell them that you are going to say a word, and they should
    squat if it is not a past tense verb and jump up in the air if it is a past tense verb. Make sure to
    vary your pattern as you call out past tense and non-past tense verbs to the class. Play for as long
    or short as you like. For an even more competitive game, any student that makes the wrong
    movement is out. The final player in wins! (Related to past tense verbs)

    Copy Cat Copycat is an easy active brain break idea that combines active play with
    memorization skills. You don't need any equipment for this exercise - simply place your students
    in pairs and have them mimic one another's movements. Have one student take the lead for half
    the time, then the other for the second half.
