I do the brain dance everyday with my class. The kids will even point out that the class is not focusing and that maybe its time to do the brain dance. They have a great time doing it, and it truly does get their focus back. The kids have it down now, and I will sometimes choose someone to lead the class. They love being the leader.

My professor, Maryam Torbati, FPU, introduces every class of hers to the “Brain Dance”. I love it, I have started every morning with my third grade class doing the “Brain Dance”. I make sure they understand that it is to awaken the left & right side of the brain (wake up both sides of the brain) for visiting guests questions!! ; ) They love it!!!
I am going to start doing it after lunch to “calm” my little ones after recess. It will help guide them to “focus” on their next lesson! ; ) I believe what they lack for relaxation techniques at home is something that I can establish (constructively) prior to our class lessons for getting their full attention to what is being presented. “Believe, achieve, succeed”….
