Chinese Eye Exercises

Chinese schools are known for taking mid-afternoon breaks each day for about 10 minutes. 

Their purpose?

Eye exercises. 

Over the intercom, a really loud (and annoying) voice tells students what part of their face to massage. 

Some of the students do it each day, but others just put their head on their desk and take a nap. 

I don't mind that some of my students don't participate in the eye exercises,  but the school does.

They actually have teachers go from room to room to make sure that each student is rubbing their face.

I looked online for a good demonstration, but all of the videos that were filmed in a classroom are hard to see. So, the video below is just a guy explaining how you do it. 

He does a good job describing exactly what the student do each day. 

Try the exercises for yourself. 

See if they work.
