KooKoo KangaRoo: Brain-break videos

Short and entertaining dance-along videos for kids of "all ages" (they write this but I think they're pretty childish and would not be well received beyond elementary school) Short videos aimed at relieving pent-up energy between lessons in hyperactive children Neil and Bryan wanted to experiment with live music and make it more fun for young children Play the video and the child dances along Silly and engaging for little kids Too short and have very little educational content; only entertainment These seem best used between lessons. If the child really likes the videos then they also have longer shows uploaded on their channel.

Grades: All (better suited for elementary aged children, however)

Cost: free!
