We had a Toy Story Breakout! Students came in to see the Breakout box with four different locks. There was a puzzle up front. Once the students put the puzzle together, they saw a message.Oh no! Woody and Buzz are trying to make it home to Andy. Help them complete the challenges to get back to Andy. Find the gas station and get started.
They had to solve a series of clues to unlock each of the locks. To solve the clues, students used reading strategies. For example, in the gas station challenge the children used their inferencing skills. We read scenarios about Toy Story characters and had to infer how the characters were feeling. In later challenges, students had to use their knowledge of main ideas and details, sequencing, and even nonfiction text features. The students were working so hard on finding the lock combinations, I don't think they realized how hard they were working!
In the end, the students had solved all the challenges and began to open the locks. There was a letter lock, directional lock, a four digit combination, and a key. It was time for the big reveal!
What else would go in a Toy Story Breakout Box but.....a barrel of monkeys! Each child got a mini set and enjoyed playing the classic, silly game!
