How to Have Fun with Your Students this Fall with Breakout EDU

Are you a few weeks into the new school year or counting down to the first day of school? The start of the school year is a critical time for building community and forming bonds that last all year long. Students have a chance to reconnect with classmates, make new friends, and get comfortable with the routines and culture of a school and classroom. To help kick off the school year in a collaborative way and to simply have fun with your students this fall, the team at Breakout EDU has you covered.

Breakout EDU knows that collaboration is key, and the beginning of the school year is the perfect time to bring students together for high-interest, super engaging activities. In today’s blog post, I’ll share Breakout EDU and their back-to-school resources for educators.

And at the bottom of this post, I’ll share details on how you can get your 14-day free trial to use as you head back to school!

Collaborative Learning with Breakout EDU

What is Breakout EDU? Breakout EDU is a fun way to challenge your students and unlock their love of learning through games. With games designed for early elementary through adult learners, there is content for everyone in your school community to explore. They present students with authentic learning opportunities where a growth mindset and creative problem solving bring students together.

How does Breakout EDU work? Breakout EDU requires students (players) to immerse themselves in the 4C’s. They take on tasks that require collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. Students will have to solve puzzles and find solutions to different types of problems.

Although you can use a Breakout EDU kit to facilitate these learning experiences in your classroom, the digital subscription (click here for your free trial) lets you jump in without the need for anything extra. Your students can work together using the online access to directions, clues, and supporting resources.

Once you’re signed up, there are step-by-step onboarding resources. With these resources, you can quickly enroll students into your virtual Breakout EDU classroom. This means you can begin assigning and playing games with students right away!

Starting the School Year with Breakout EDU

The game library offers hundreds of standards-aligned games for you to choose from. There are options in various subjects and topics, along with content designed specifically for back-to-school activities. For example, you might decide to start the school year with the “Back to School Boogie” team-building activity. Or you might try out “Breakout of Mr. Limoncello’s Library” for a literature connection. Although you might focus on the more general activities in the first few weeks of school, you can revisit the digital library of games for content area connections in different subject areas throughout the school year.

If you are starting the school year with distance learning or looking for resources that can transition into virtual learning spaces, they have you covered, too. The virtual classroom allows you to assign games directly to your students. This option makes it easy to manage student learning experiences from anywhere.

Over the past few months, I’ve spoken to many school leaders and classroom teachers who want to make social-emotional learning a priority this school year. If you are also committed to building SEL skills and allocating time for students to work together towards a common goal, Breakout EDU is an excellent resource for the back-to-school season.
