Discover the Magic of Harry Potter-Inspired Brain Breaks for Kids

Your little Potterheads will flip over their broomsticks when you introduce these Harry Potter-Inspired brain breaks. Such amazing ways to add some pizazz to your classroom or homeschool day.

Brain breaks are powerful tools for kids. These simple activities give kids much-needed breaks from the strain of learning and practicing new concepts.

Here are just a few of the benefits of brain breaks for kids:

  • takes the stress out of learning
  • increased attention span
  • improved memory retention
  • gross and fine motor skills practice
  • better motivation to start and complete assigned tasks
  • overall improved attitude towards work, cooperation, and collaboration
  • focused activity increases willingness to return to more structured work

When you pair brain break activities with fun themes, those benefits soar to the next level!

My boys and I have absolutely adored our seasonal and fun holiday theme brain breaks. I thought it was time to create a set of brain break activity cards on one of our favorite themes-Harry Potter!

Jumpstart the Learning Fun with Harry Potter-Inspired Brain Breaks

I love the simplicity of brain breaks for kids. You don’t need to get all fancy or spend a ton of money. Like most things that combine kids and fun, simple is best 🙂

Before I get to the creative ways to use these Harry Potter-Inspired Brain Breaks, I’d like to make one recommendation:  print these cards on white cardstock paper. Your kids will want to do these magical brain break activities again and again (trust me!) and cardstock provides durability.

Another way to extend the durability of these brain break cards is to laminate. If you don’t have a laminator, no worries! Self-sealing laminating pouches will get the job done just as well 😉

Enjoy magical learning fun with these 24 free Harry Potter-Inspired brain breaks.

Oh, and make sure you have the recommended free printable resources and supplies (see below) all prepared and organized. Well, at least, have these materials in one spot that your kids can easily access when it’s time for Harry Potter-Inspired Brain Breaks Fun!

A few ideas for keeping it fun and as stressfree as possible include:

  • Read the brain break prompt aloud. Talk with your child about the activity. Encourage your child to brainstorm ways to best enjoy this brain break today.
  • Let your child randomly select a Harry Potter-Inspired brain break card.
  • OR sort through the cards and pick the prompt that you think would work best for your child that day.
  • Give your child plenty of time to get into their Harry Potter-Inspired brain break.
  • OR set a timer if your schedule is tight OR your child tends to dawdle 😉
  • If your child starts a brain break but becomes frustrated, you can either give them assistance OR chat with them about possible ways to attack the problem OR put that brain break aside for today and choose a new one. This experience is meant to be positive, growth-oriented, and fun 🙂
