Quick Sparks: 30 Brain Break Activities, 5-10 Seconds Each (Brain Sparks Book 1)

Thirty quick activities that wake up both hands and the eyes before learning. Each takes 5 to 10 seconds, so they fit into any transition: lining up, after lunch, before writing.

Inside: mirror hands, colour finger taps, twin tracing tracks, stepping stones, an infinity loop for crossing the midline, sign-and-move rows and a first finger piano. The book starts easy and gets harder page by page, with a how-to guide, an activity map, a progress chart and a certificate.

How it works: every Brain Sparks activity has a code and a timer badge. Quick Sparks take 5 to 10 seconds, Focus Flow 10 to 30 seconds, and Think & Switch 30 seconds to 1 minute. Mix codes to build a brain break that fits the time you have.

You get an instant PDF download, A4, ready to print at home or school. Laminate pages and use a dry-wipe pen to reuse them.

Licence: one home or one classroom. For a whole school, choose the school licence.
