Have you ever heard of an Escape Room? It's the new, fun way to spend your Friday night with a group of friends or family! Breakout EDU is a classroom version of an Escape Room. They have created a way to "gamify" a classroom by having students use critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity to break-into their box! The breakouts teach teamwork, problem solving, critical thinking, and troubleshooting by presenting participants with challenges that ignite their natural drive to problem-solve.
Breakouts can be used to teach core academic subjects including math, science, history, language arts and have embedded standards that apply problem solving strategies within a real world or collaborative context.
The Breakout EDU box will allow our students the opportunities to learn and refine these skills in a relaxed, fun environment. Students are given a set of task cards and a lock box with multiple locks attached. The task cards include clues to hidden keys, secret codes and combinations, and appropriate puzzles or mystery items to help each team unlock their box. As teams progress through the challenge, they will use the initial challenge clues to lead them through the progression of puzzles to unlock the box.
