Unlock Engagement! When students are engaged, they are learning, thinking critically and making meaningful connections.
Breakout EDU games are the perfect way to bring collaboration to both remote and in-person learning! Parkland has at least one physical BreakoutEDU kit in each school building.
This document has overview videos of everything you need to know to get started with digital or physical Breakout EDU activities.
See this document or the video below for an overview specifically of how to play a DIGITAL Breakout EDU game with your class.
Creating a digital game actively encourages students to be innovative, communicate effectively, think critically, be problem solvers, and use backward mapping to develop puzzles that challenge their classmates' thinking. Additionally, developing a story that weaves the theme into the clues, creating images that send the right message, and adding a hint or two pushes game design skills to the next level. Great game design fosters high-level engagement and creativity, especially as students listen to each other, share their ideas, and work together to design a game.
