Team Building Escape Room Style

BreakoutEDU

Thanks to the PTO's Teacher Wishes Program!

Over the past week, students in Mrs. Valzania's Social Studies classes have been participating in their first round of Breakout EDU's.  The topic of this Breakout EDU was map skills.

Breakout EDU is the immersive learning games platform. With Breakout EDU kits, you can turn your classroom into an academically-focused escape room and facilitate games where players use teamwork and critical thinking to solve a series of challenging puzzles
in order to open the locked box.


The fastest breakout clocked in at just 21 minutes!
Congratulations to Mrs. Magee's Homeroom Team Green:
