Breakout Fun! is a fully customizable activity creator that can be used by any teacher in any class. It uses instructor’s questions to create interactive scoreboards and answer sheets. Students then work in small groups to problem solve, learn collaboratively, compete, and have fun! Unlike other lesson planning tools used in the classroom, Breakout Fun is very simple to use and has a quick setup time.
Professor Daniel Holbrook has used Breakout Fun! during ice breakers, study review, fun trivia, and to survey students. It works best for multiple choice and matching questions, but it can also be used with other question types as well. It is the perfect way for students to engage and interact with each other in both virtual and in person settings.
