Middle School Activity Breaks - UC CalFresh

Middle School Activity Breaks Background/Rationale Recent studies in Texas have found a correlation between physically fit students and academic achievement. In particular, results from FITNESSGRAM tests and PASS & CATCH have shown that students who are physically fit are more likely to do well on standardized tests. FITNESSGRAM results also found an association between physical Activity and good School attendance as well as fewer disciplinary referrals. Based on the evidence that students learn better when they are physically fit, we have provided a list of Activity Breaks for use in and outside of the classroom. Activity Breaks are classroom-based physical activities that can incorporate subject content and allow students to be physically active while learning.

Over, Under, Around, and Through Activity Break #1 Minimum Time Needed for Activity: 5 minutes Grade Level: 6th - 8th Subject Area: Any subject Equipment: 2 short ropes, scarves, or pieces of cloth/paper per group Organization: Students are scattered throughout the classroom in groups of 3. In each group, 2 members of the group face one another and “hold hands” with pieces of cloth.
