6 7 Brain Break Free Printables
Students who enjoy a good challenge will love these 6 7 Brain Break Free Printables. The free four page PDF is available for download at the bottom of this post, and each activity offers a meaningful mix of bilateral coordination, cross lateral movement, crossing midline, and impulse control practice. These tasks seem simple at first, but writing the numbers 6 and 7 at the same time with both hands takes focused attention and precise motor control. The printable set from Six Seven Brain Bridges provides engaging opportunities for students to coordinate both sides of the body while building important brain connections.
HOW TO COMPLETE THE 6 7 BRAIN BREAKS
Each page includes clear directions. Here is what students will be asked to do based on the PDF:
