Brain Breaks | Crossover | Brain Breaks Song | Cross the Mid-line | Jack Hartmann

Crossover is a fun BRAIN BREAKS song that is all about cross lateral movements which are movements that cross the mid-line of the brain.The mid-line is an imaginary line that runs down the middle of the body from head to toes, dividing the body into right and left halves. When children do cross - lateral movements the two sides of the brain are forced to communicate and strengthen the brain pathways. Brain Breaks should be fun and movement oriented. My brain breaks song Crossover, also gets children to immediately use their brain to concentrate and use different parts of their body to cross the mid-line. Crossover tells children exactly what part of the body they&to crossover from right to left and left to right so it&very easy for children of all ages to do in the regular classroom and at PE. Crossing the midline is necessary for reading and writing as we go left to right. When we engage children in crossover movements blood flow is increased in all parts of the brain making it more alert and energized for optimal learning. Use this song as a great musical brain breaks activity for stimulating the brain and body.
