Tried It Tuesdays: Brain Breaks

This week for Fourth Grade Flipper's Tried it Tuesday Linky I am going to share some of the brain breaks I have done recently with my students. My students absolutely love brains and it is a nice way to break up the long afternoons with no breaks. 
My first and favorite brain breaks are Third Grade Thought's Brain Breaks for the Classroom. She has a set of 65 different activities you can do in the classroom. Click on the picture below to check them out at her TPT store.

4. Ice Age Walk the Dinosaur
 


5. Thriller Animation
 

What new things have you tried in your classroom? Link up with Tried it Tuesday!
