'Active Break Every Day' Challenge

'Active Break Every Day' Challenge - November 18 - December 13

The Active Break Every Day challenge is open to ALL primary and special schools.

The initiative is designed to incentivise and support teachers to build movement breaks in to their daily routines for the benefit of teaching and learning, as well as health and wellbeing. 

Research shows that building short movement breaks into the school day, can help children and young people to:

  • Regulate energy levels
  • Regain concentration and focus
  • Self-regulate emotions

For the 2024 Active Break Every Day challenge, we are delighted to partner with the Irish Heart Foundation to support teachers to build movement and mindfulness breaks into the school day.
