Sensory Movement Breaks Activity Book

Sensory Movement Breaks Activity Book

A manual of focused sensory activities to encourage individuals, small groups and whole classes to stay active.

Movement breaks are typically recommended for children who are seeking out additional movement. They might be rocking in their chair, or constantly getting up and moving around the class. Increased physical activity can reduce undesirable behaviours such as fidgeting or being unable to concentrate and settle.

The manual is divided into 4 sections: whole class sensory movement breaks, sensory activities to include in PE, short sensory breaks to be done outside the classroom and longer sensory movement breaks. Each section suggests various activities, gives guidance on how to implement and explains the benefits of completing them. Written by two Paediatric Occupational Therapists who have extensive experience working with children with special needs.
