Using Breakout.edu and its escape games is a fun way to hook students into a new lesson, practice their German in a non-threatening way, and use 21st-century skills like problem-solving and collaboration. Students must work together to solve puzzles, codes, riddles, games, reading comprehension tasks, numeracy problems, and much more. The end goal is to unlock the final box and feel success as a group! One example is a unit I am contemplating about German cars. Students will learn about the various German sports cars as well as the history of the German automobile and the Autobahn, all while puzzling out clues, watching short videos, searching around the classroom, and looking at maps. The nice thing about this platform with Breakout.edu is that it comes with many pre-made puzzles (though almost none in German) that I can adapt to the needs of my German classroom. I have made a couple of my own games which take at least 20+ hours to design and the motivation and excitement that follow are astounding. Having a base to create multiple puzzles and fulfill the students' desire for more boxes is so useful and saves me time.
