What's an energizer? Part of our SEL program, Responsive Classroom, calls for routine energizers throughout the day to keep everyone refreshed and energized for learning. Investing in these short breaks makes the day more fun and helps students stay focused on their learning. These breaks might include a simple stretch or a fun activity. In 4S, they used their energizer break to play "multiplication relay". Students lined up into two different groups and took turns answering their "fast facts" by writing them around the rings.
