How to use the Brain Break Wheel

Attention in most classes starts dropping after roughly twenty minutes, and a sixty-second physical reset recovers more time than it costs. Every activity here fits beside a desk and needs no equipment.

  • Keep breaks under a minute. Longer than that and getting the room back becomes its own task.
  • Remove the loud options if you share a wall with an exam room — the quiet ones work just as well.
  • Let the student who answered the last question do the spinning; it gives the break a natural handover.
