Escape rooms have become a popular past-time in our society recently, and students greatly enjoy the ability to problem-solve their way through class. My students are highly intelligent, but need an extra outlet to express their creativity and show off their problem-solving skills. The Breakout kit I'm requesting has all the needed parts and pieces to create amazing lessons. It also comes with a 12-month subscription of activities to help me get started and show me how to create lessons with the kit. This entire packet will help me show my kids how to have fun in the classroom, but still apply the needed skills to succeed in any situation.
