00:00Stop the Rock, Skills, Balance, Centering, Coordination, Focus, Physical Awareness, Spatial
00:27Awareness.
00:28This brain break is called Stop the Rock.
00:31What you want to do is get your students into star pose first.
00:34So have them come to standing, reach their arms out and legs out tall.
00:38Then have everyone slowly start to test a little bit of balancing from one side to the
00:44next.
00:46What you're going to do is play music and as all your students are rocking back and
00:50forth you choose when you're going to stop the music.
00:53Wherever they are in their star pose, they need to freeze and try to balance.
00:58If they need to put a foot down for safety, encourage them to do so.
01:02Have fun.
01:03All right everyone, we're going to play Stop the Rock.
01:13So here's what I need everyone to do.
01:15Stand up.
01:16Good.
01:17Let's go into star pose.
01:18One, two, three, four, five.
01:21Good.
01:22Now for just a moment, bring your hands down to your hips and I want you to just start
01:27feeling what it's like to rock side to side.
01:30Now your weight is what you want to shift.
01:34So see if you can balance on one foot, then take it over and balance on the other foot.
01:40Then maybe bend and balance.
01:42Excellent.
01:43And then maybe bend and balance again.
01:45Good.
01:46That's the idea.
01:48When our music is starting, we're going to go side to side in our star pose.
01:53When you hear the music stop, no matter where you are, freeze.
01:57Okay?
01:58I'll say freeze as well to help us know when.
02:03And go.
02:09Side to side movements.
02:12Freeze.
02:16Very nice.
02:18And again.
02:21Freeze.
02:24Excellent.
02:25One more time.
02:26Freeze.
02:27Okay.
02:28I'm not going to help you this time.
02:29I'm just going to do the music.
02:30Ready?
02:31Go.
02:32Freeze.
02:33Very nice.
02:34Give yourself a pat.
02:35Pat's on the back.
02:36And a high five.
02:37Thanks, everyone.
