Forty-seven pages of movement breaks, coordination challenges, memory games and breathing exercises for KS1 and lower KS2 - printed cards and pages, no screen and no equipment.

Five categories to dip into: crossing the midline, using both hands together, balance, working memory, and breathing. Each one has its own set of cards and pages.

What children will do

• Cross-body movement - marching with opposite elbow to knee, tap sequences, figure-of-eight path tracing, and an opposite-commands game
• Both hands together - mirror drawing, two-handed doodling, a six-exercise finger gym, eight rhythm cards
• Balance - four poses including tree and flamingo, heel-to-toe walking, freeze dance, and a challenge ladder
• Working memory - Kim’s game, matching pairs, sequence recall, listen and draw, pattern continuation, story sequence jumble
• Breathing and calm - trace-and-breathe paths, square breathing, five senses grounding, and a body scan to colour

Also included

• Brain break mini-cards - six quick movement cards to cut out and keep
• A passport with a stamp for each category completed
• A four-week tracker across six activity areas
• Answer key for the sequencing and pattern pages
• An adult guide explaining what each category practises and how to use the pack
• Certificate

Why teachers and parents love this pack

• Works as a two-minute reset between lessons, a PE warm-up, or a full session
• Printed cards mean no screen, no apparatus, and nothing to set up
• Useful for children who concentrate better after moving, and for whole-class transitions
• Finger gym and rhythm cards double as fine motor and listening practice
• Watercolour illustrations with a red squirrel guide on every page
