Mental health and well-being of children is a priority in primary schools! These brain breaks are little mediation activities which last 2 or 3 minutes and allows children to calm down and refocus. I usually use these a couple of times a day - after break, after lunch and during the afternoon.

I created both End of the Day Questions and Extension Task Labels by cutting out the questions and sticking them on lolly sticks. They were then put in a pot and the children would pull out a lolly stick without looking. End of the Day Questions are a way of encouraging children to reflect on their day - what they loved and what they could improve the following day. Extension Task lollysticks allows children to choose a task at random so the can complete a variety of tasks rather then always choosing their favourites.
