Have you tried Breakout EDU?

Breakout EDU is super fun and challenging. 
If you have ever experienced an escape room it’s similar but in reverse. With Breakout EDU 
you solve the puzzles to open the locks and ultimately you break into the box not out of the room.  


Currently, Breakout EDU is offering a free live online daily game with prizes 
(I suspect the prizes could be for US Schools only - but not sure)

They started this on the 14th of April and have continued from Monday to Friday since.
You can go back and try the pre-recorded ones. Just make sure you pause the video before
 the answers are given.

Happy Star Wars Day this May 4! It's party time on Tatooine. 


The first organized Star Wars Day took place in Toronto back in 2011. The event included an Original Trilogy Trivia Game Show, a costume contest, and a showing of fan-made tribute films, mash-ups, parodies, and remixes.

However, the earliest use of the May the Fourth date pun is popularly said to come in 1979. After British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was first elected, fellow members of her conservative political party took out a full-page ad in the London Evening News on May 4th reading: “May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie.

Below is a Google Slide with Star Wars activities and games. Have a fun May the 4th!
