Breaks are intended to give students a chance to refresh their minds so they can get back to work efficiently after the break is over. Very anxious students, if not given a structured activity, might wander into negative thoughts which will leave them more distracted rather than refreshed from their break. Open-ended activities such as drawing or getting a glass of water can be great break activities for students without anxiety, however, students with anxiety often find their minds wander to negative thoughts if they do not have an activity that fully occupies their thought processes.
