How Brain Breaks Boost Learning

Evidence shows that brain breaks not only boost focus and retention, but also add a splash of fun, helping students recharge and refocus.

Why Brain Breaks Matter
💓
Boosts Blood Flow

Physical movement during brain breaks increases blood flow to the brain, delivering more oxygen and nutrients for sharper thinking.

🧠
Reduces Mental Fatigue

Short breaks help prevent cognitive overload, giving the brain time to rest and recharge for better focus and retention.

😊
Enhances Creativity & Mood

Engaging activities reset the brain's stress levels and improve mood, making it easier to approach tasks with fresh ideas and enthusiasm.
