[ISLMA-Share] 'escape room' library lesson

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Please go to the Breakout Edu website, you will find a plethora of
information. List of supplies, games made by others, a template for
designing your won. We have done several at my school for both faculty
(created one about the district's strategic plan) and students (used ones
from the website). My fifth grade just did one for Pax, this year's Global
Read Aloud.

At the website you can purchase a pre-made kit or get the list of supplies
and order/collect them yourself.

They are incredibly engaging and such good practice at problem solving.
