Thing 34: Breakout EDU

Today I learned about Breakout EDU, another great resource for "gamifying" your classroom.  These Breakout games, which could be fun to do once in a while, I feel would lose their muster after one of two of them.  Doing one or two of them per year though, I could see being a lot of fun for students.

"The Haunting At Farrar" is a fun breakout EDU lesson about finding a box hidden in a haunted school that can unlock the secrets of what happened at the abandoned school.  I'm not sure I could use this exact lesson, but it would be fun to design a lesson similar to this as a team building activity around Halloween in my classes.

Below is a Breakout EDU game template I made that is my version of the above game.  It's pretty funny and obviously only a template, but could be really fun to do with a class around Halloween.
