Interactive brain breaks for the classroom
Put a game on the board. Kids move. The webcam follows.
▶ Start a brain breakZazti is 12 free movement games that see your students move: they flap to fly, run on the spot, freeze on red and catch math answers. No accounts, no downloads, and no student data.
How it works in class
- Open zazti.com on the classroom computer and put it on the projector or smartboard.
- Allow the camera when the browser asks. If your school manages its computers, IT may need to allow camera access for zazti.com.
- Pick a game. Two kids play at a time, about a meter from the camera, in a bright room. Everyone else copies the moves or cheers.
- Tap Skip on the name screen, so no student names go in.
- Rounds last 40 to 60 seconds. Want a longer break? Party Mode plays games back to back.

Privacy, the short version
- No accounts, no emails, no student names.
- The camera image is read on the computer and thrown away. Nothing is recorded or sent.
- No ads and no third-party analytics. Scores are saved under a random code on the computer, not under a name.
The full privacy policy is in plain English.
