We had a Toy Story Breakout! Students came in to see the Breakout box with a lock. Actually, when looking closer there were four different clue boxes all with different locks. Then, 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 much content they were tackling!
In the end, the students had solved all the challenges and opened al the different locks. There was a letter lock, directional lock, a four digit combination, and a key. It was time for the big reveal!
Students each got a "Forky" kit. How fun! They took their Forky kits home to "make" a new friend. In the kit, there was also a mini book to write about their Forky adventures. I can't wait to see what the students come up with.
