Mrs. Newburger has purchased two Breakout Edu Lock sets for your use. See her to use them or gather your own boxes wtih locks. Anything that a lock can go through- even a 2 zippered pouch-can work.

How to Host an Educations Escape Room with Piedmont's Breakout EDU boxes: 

Before class
1. Choose a breakout setup and lesson plan or or create your own:

• Use the BreakOut Edu library of ready-made breakout plans, or feel free to create your own.  There is also a Breakout Edu Facebook Group that hosts plenty of ideas. 
• Gather, print or create the materialss. Reserve the box(es) with Mrs. Newburger

3. Prepare the locks and the clues. 

• Set them up as needed around the room.
•  See Ms. Newburger'sInventory sheet for lock tutorials and Note that if you change any combos indicate the new password on the inventory sheet.

At Breakout
Follow these steps with students: 
1. Tell the class the goal is to Breakout of the locks using clues and academic content. Explain hint cards and QR codes or other features of your specific breakout as needed.
2. Show a motivational video to kick off the breakout if your Breakout has a single theme.
3. Students begin according to the video or your handout. Use a timer with suspenseful music if desired 
4. Allow students to work through the clues according to your goals. Teambuilding, content mastery, etc.
5. offer Hint cards if needed
6. Use Reflection cards (they come with the box)  or create your own personalized  Exit tickets
7. Offer a reward for successful breakout - it could be food, trinkets, time or other reward.
