PREORDER AVAILABLE for my new BRAIN BREAKS Album

PREORDER | PREORDER | PREORDER | EXPECTED AVAILABILITY SEPTEMBER 1, 2015

Brain Breaks includes fitness activities, exercises, dances, crossover moves, creative activities and dramatic play which all help your children rejuvenate and re-focus on learning.  

Brain Breaks

Brain breaks are important for learning. Studies consistently demonstrate that physical education is associated with improved academic achievement, positive behavior and improved cognitive thinking skills.

Brain Breaks by Jack Hartmann is filled with 18 fun, upbeat, dance, exercise and creative movement songs that your children will love! These songs are perfect for the elementary classroom, physical education and homeschoolers. Each song is about 2 to 3 minutes long which is the ideal amount of time to get some physical activity, get the heart rate up and increase blood flow going to the muscles along with strengthening the areas of our brain. Brain research suggests that physical activity like engaging in Jack’s fun movements songs increases a student’s ability to process and retain new material. 

A research study from Oregon State University stated that short breaks of physical activity in the daily routine of elementary students improved physical health, mental awareness and educational success. These brain breaks have great energy, a cool diversity of rhythms and beats and engages children with active, yet simple movements they can easily learn. Also, there are many songs that develop a child’s social skills as the activity built-in the song encourages positive interaction, friendliness and cooperation. 

The Brain Breaks album is one of Jack’s best albums ever for children of all ages.

Kids Body Parts Song


Right Here is a great parts of the body song to get preschool children moving and identifying all different parts of the body.

The song really encourages the children to move and sing-a-long as they reply, "Right Here" as they answer my question and point to the appropriate parts of the body.

Count by 2

 Dancing 2's
Dancing 2's

Dancing 2's is a fun way for kids to learn to skip count by 2. Children follow me doing different dances as we count to 100 by 2. Every time we hit a place holder of tens we change dances.

Children sing-a-long with me as we dance to this fun skip counting song. Children easily learn the rhythm and melody which helps them remember how to count to 100 by 2's.

The combination of brain and body connections in this song really make it a winner to use over and over again to get kids exercising, get the wiggles out and memorize how to count to 100 by 2's.

Square Song


My square song features a happy singing square character that lets children not only see a square shape, but also gives them a catchy fun song to sing-a-long with.

The square song and character focus on the characteristics of a square.
1. 4 straight lines
2. 4 equal sides

I wrote this song to be a simple and fun way for kids to remember the basic concepts and features of a square. Have your children sing with our square character and then find squares in their environment to enhance and broaden their experience.

Circle Song

 Circle Song
This thumbnail is distorted by compression, the shape shown does not reflect the shape of the circle in the video.
Teach your children about the shape of a circle with this fun upbeat song.

The important concepts of a circle are highlighted and repeated in the song. My circle song describes the circle shape with the following:

  • A circle has no straight lines 
  • A circle has no beginning and no end
  • A circle is one closed curve
  • A circle has all points in the curve equal in distance form the center

These are all essential concepts about the circle shape. I add to the fun of learning and sing several familiar things children see and know about that are in the circle shape.  The song and video also provide real world examples of the circle, such as a tire and a full pizza.

I wanted to write songs about the shapes that explain the essential concepts of one shape at time so children can focus on each shape more thoroughly.

Silly Pirate Song



The Silly Pirate Song is an educational song that covers sequencing, growing patterns and recall. All are very important developmental skills for young children.

This pirate adventure song continues to be one of my most popular original songs. Children really use their imaginations as they act out each character's part. This movement song is super fun.

Teachers and Parents can extend the learning after the video by asking these questions.

  • Who is your favorite character?
  • Can you tell me what order the characters appear in?
  • How many characters did you see?


The simple rhythm and great melody of Silly Pirate Song continues to make this a favorite of children around the world.

Count to 100


Here is a new count to 100 song. It's very calming and clearly pronounces the numbers while showing them large on screen in a clear font. 

The odd and even numbers are in different colors and the tens are called out in red with a circle around the number.

I hope you love it. Leave a comment and tell me what you think!
