Lesson Starters & Brain Break Activities
“If I could change the national school curriculum, I would call it Brain Break.”
Lesson starters are short, generally between 5 and 10 minutes, engaging activities designed to set the tone for learning, spark creativity, and encourage critical thinking. These activities help students transition into a learning mindset while fostering teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Whether it’s through a hands-on challenge, a brain teaser, or a quick brand recognition exercise, lesson starters activate prior knowledge, encourage curiosity, and build connections between concepts. By making learning interactive from the start, these activities create a dynamic classroom environment that promotes collaboration and deeper discussion throughout the lesson.
