Breakout Boxes for Breakout Fun Help me give my students breakout boxes to allow them to collaborate after a year of working alone. 13 DONORS $259 STILL NEEDED expires Dec 28 Favorite this for updates SHARE PROJECT My Students The best part about my school is the diversity. We have students from so many different backgrounds. It’s fun to see the way they interact and accept each other. My class this year is a 5/6 combo. I get to teach students who are nearing the end of their elementary career and I get to help prepare them for middle school and beyond. It’s so fun to watch them grow. My Project After a year of remote learning and working alone these breakout box activities will give the students the opportunity to work collaboratively, to practice problem solving skills, and have a little fun while doing it. The students will work in groups to solve problems and unlock the combinations. These boxes can be used across all subjects. It also gives the students opportunities to show their leadership skills while working in groups. The puzzles are fun and a great way to engage all of the students rather than sitting at their desks taking notes, each student uses their different strengths to help their team be successful.
