[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] Breakout Edu Kits

[GUMKE, KARA]

?Yes but mostly I get frustrated when I am putting the kits together and a lock is not opening . It does not happen often when kids are participating in the games. I always set up the "lock parking lot" and tell the kids that when they get the lock off to put it there without playing with it or re-locking it! I have lost locks before, so I am just as careful as possible... but it's inevitable. I've reached out to Breakout Edu about it and they don't seem to have a solution, but they have sent me replacement locks.

Do any of you find the locks included with the kit don't last very long before they break and/or get stuck often enough to deter kids who have the correct combo?

Same at my school.  We are starting to use them again as well.  We do a combination of digital and kits.

The set up for the games can be time consuming, but I find that kids are almost always engaged in the activities.

Wondering if people still use Breakout Edu kits? Or are they kind of outdated/ overdone by now?
Any better alternatives since they are pretty pricey?

Thanks in advance!!
