Rhymes, Rhyming Words with Brain Breaks, Movement Google Slides PowerPoint

Easily and effectively meet curriculum requirements AND incorporate movement into your classroom routine with these brain-building brain breaks for rhymes and rhyming words! They get your students up and moving with meaningful movements that help make rhyming mastery fun and engaging!

Our young learners are just not wired to sit still for long periods of time. But with the increasing educational demands and decreasing recess or free play times, oftentimes they are not able to move about freely during the school day as much as they should. Studies have shown that physical activity (even small movements) improves students’ focus, retention, memory, creativity, and mood.

Therefore, I wanted to create a way for students to get up and move while learning, so I created resources that require students to show their answers to questions by doing movements/exercises instead of just saying or inputting their responses.

This way, they are all participating, engaged, and using purposeful movements to help them learn and practice standards. Using purposeful movements during a lesson enhances students’ comprehension and retention and makes learning more fun!

Each rhyming word question has 3 answer choices with a specific movement for each. Students do the movement that is next to their answer choice.

The visuals beside each answer choice show students how to do the movements so learners of all levels can participate (even nonverbal students).

A perfect way to get students engaged and learning! Also helps with following directions and focus - students have to think about their answer and the movement associated with it.

You will be able to look and see which students know & understand rhymes by what movements they do, how fast they do them in response to the question, or whether or not they are looking to see what the other students are doing because they may not know the answer.

The slides are self-checking. Once students are doing the movements, click the slide again to show the correct response (a green checkmark will appear beside the correct answer). This self-checking feature also allows students to use them independently!

You can choose how many slides you wish to do at one time and what slides you wish to use making them great for introduction, practice, and review anytime throughout the year!

You receive the following in both Google Slides & PowerPoint format:

• 25 question slides that require students to identify rhymes, rhyming words.
• 3 introductory slides that introduce the movements used
• Instructions for use

Perfect for in-classroom learning and virtual, distance learning!

These multi-sensory brain-building brain breaks are a fun way to incorporate movement with learning!

Includes both Google Slides and PowerPoint formats.
