5 Engaging Back to School Activities to Start the Year Right!

First impressions are everything! Imagine your students going home after the first day of school full of excitement and telling everyone that they Broke Out! No, not broke out of the school - but broke out of an engaging activity that you, the most awesome teacher prepared for them. Too good to be true - it really isn't. In addition to your students being fully immersed in the 4Cs - communicating, collaborating, thinking critically and being creative, they will come to see learning as a game, something fun and something they love doing.

Breakout EDU games are the perfect way to engage your students in meaningful authentic learning experiences. We have over 1800+ games on our platform, and we are sharing 5 of our favorite games that we know you and your students will find are the perfect way to start the year right!
