What is the stormbreak school challenge?

The stormbreak challenge encourages users to regularly watch and take part in stormbreaks - choose from our library of 'stormbreaks' and participate in our mentally healthy movement activities.

See your group, team or child(ren) progress, collect virtual badges and printable certificates after every 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 completed stormbreaks (you can complete as many stormbreaks as you like and all will be ‘logged’ but you only one per day will count towards the challenge).

Complete the challenge by taking part in for 25 days worth of stormbreaks.

Then you'll be ready to start again!

1 stormbreak every school day = 5 weeks! How long will it take your group, team or child(ren)?

Getting started...

1. Create a stormbreak account for your school using a school email address and an appropriate password
2. Create groups, teams and children (these can be set up for teachers, classes and or pastoral groups etc) 
3. Repeat step 2 to create as many other groups, teams or children in your school as you like
4. Finally invite other school staff to join your organisation clicking on 'invite others' on the drop down menu found by clicking your name in the top right hand corner of the screen

Taking part...

1. Log on and select which group is watching
2. Choose a stormbreak to do based on what you'd like to support your children with, how they feel, what you'd like them to focus on
3. Hit play, watch and take part in a fun 5-15 minute session where one of our stormbreak coaches/teachers will get your group moving and talking/thinking about their mental health
4. Trusted adults (teachers, pastoral care workers) should join in with the stormbreak and try to engage in mentally healthy conversation based on the content of the stormbreak
5. Click 'My stormbreak' to see your group's progress. Every 5 days of stormbreaks  completed will earn your group a virtual badge and allow you to print a group certificate. Progress from yellow all the way through to the rainbow award!
