Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 20

Using Breakout boxes enabled my students to be 100% engaged. They had to use teamwork skills in order to solve riddles and puzzles. It helped develop their critical thinking skills as they had to perservere to try to solve for codes.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

My goal is for students to be engaged in using their critical thinking skills to solve mysteries and learn along the way!

What will be done with my students

Students will be placed into groups and will be given a "mystery" to solve. By working together, completing activities and following clues, they will work to "break out" of the box to find what is hidden inside!

Benefits to my students

These fun, educational puzzles come in a wide array of topics and subjects, fostering both student's academic and social development. Many games are designed to be standards aligned, and are also cross-curricula. Each Breakout EDU kit gives access to play more than 400 immersive learning games. Students are engaged and excited about learning, while collaborating to problem solve in groups.
