Haumana working as a team

Let 's Breakout!

Aug. 8, 2016

Contributed by Kristen Purdy

The Breakout Games teach teamwork, problem solving, critical thinking, and troubleshooting by presenting students with center challenges that ignite their natural drive to problem-solve.  K-12 Breakouts can be used to teach core academic subjects including math, science, history, language arts and have embedded standards that apply problem solving strategies. Each Breakout kit comes with a collection of locks, hidden contraptions, timers, keys, and other “diversion hardware” that can be used to play the Breakout challenges.

 

Each game is centered around opening (“breaking out” ) of various boxes and locks to find a clue to help solve an overall problem in a specific amount of time. During a game, players must work collaboratively to successfully navigate a series of mysteries and solve engaging problems using both physical and online puzzles.  Learning has never been this much fun!!
