Use this spring activity cootie catcher craft to help reduce stress and focus on the task. These are great brain breaks for students with a case of spring fever and for students with attention and learning issues. They are designed to stimulate the brain and offer fun breaks that enhance focus and social emotional coping skills. They are also a great motivational and classroom management tool. Use the black and white version to make it a craftivity!
These brain breaks can be done in pairs or individually with a teacher so they work well in small group and tutoring sessions. Different activities include motion, gross and fine motor skills, relaxation, mindfulness, and concentration.
Cootie catcher + brain break = double the fun
Not just for spring. Great fun and motivation all year
I have also included a cootie catcher with blank spaces so the teacher or student can create their own brain breaks. Students are extremely motivated when they are involved in creating the activities and this allows the teacher to customize activities for each students needs.
Included:
★ 3 printable cootie catchers that can be printed in color or black and white
★ Illustrated instructions on how to fold
★ Instructions on how to play.
