Pen Flipping Brain Break

Brain Breaks are simple 1-2 minute mind and body challenges.  They are excellent for regaining focus in a meeting or a class.  Your students will love you for them.


This one you will take these steps

1.  Stand Up.
2.  Take a pen and flip it ONE REVOLUTION.  (Imagine a piece of tape on one end of the pen, then throw the pen from the tape side.  Have the pen go one full turn around to get to the tape side again) 
3.  Now do the same thing with your other hand.  
4.  Now get a pen for both hands and try to do both pens at the same time.  
5.  If you really are good at that, then try to throw the pens up into the air and catch them in opposite hands.  This is tough.
