Students today could choose to participate in a zombie/holiday-themed breakout during their advisory/AO time. A huge "thank you" to Jana, a community member and Grimes Public Library employee, who created the breakout to share with my students!
The breakout was holiday and zombie themed, and based on puzzles, books, and images, students worked together to think critically about the items presented and problem solve to open five different locks. Two teams had similar work, and both teams successfully opened their breakout boxes.
In working through clues, students had to engage their powers of observation, use their library skills, and employ some math skills to successfully open the locks.
With time remaining in the session, both teams were able to open all of their locks and find the "zombie serum" inside--nothing like a Freezie Pop on a windy, cold late-October day!
And to let their friends and classmates know we were all "safe" from the zombie invasion, students also collected buttons to wear.
If you missed today's breakout during advisory/AO time, keep checking the offerings in November. Another breakout will be headed your way soon!
