Google Forms for Breakout Box

As mentioned in a  previous post, I love making breakout/puzzle/escape rooms.  I have an example here that you can make a copy of and change, if you'd like.

Here's how you can make a digital breakout box using Google Forms:

1. Click on the cog in the upper right-hand corner.


2. Click the third tab labeled "Quizzes" and flip the slider to the right to "make this a quiz" and click save.

3. Title your Form.



4. Create your first question by typing "3 Digit Code". It should change it to a "short answer" question, but if it does not, choose that option from the drop down menu. Make this a "required" question by moving the slider to the right.


5. From the three dots at the bottom right hand corner, select "description" and "response validation".

6. In the description box, provide instructions to how the answer should be typed.

7. Under the "response validation", make sure it says "number" and the second box says "equal to". In the third box, type what the answer is and the fourth box type "incorrect". If you do not put anything in the fourth spot, it will give people the answer if they get it wrong.

8. Repeat steps 4-7 for the 4 digit code, word code, and directional code. For the word code and directional code, change the "number" option to "text".  The second box should say "contains" and the third box will be your answer. (When doing the directional, I usually have the answer all lower case with dashes between each direction. However, you set it up, be sure that it's explained in your directions.)

Nitrogen and Carbon Cycle Foldable

I was inspired to create foldables for my 6th graders on the carbon and nitrogen cycles after viewing one created by the blog " The Inspired Classroom ".  She had created a much cuter one for the water cycle.  Please forgive my pictures, descriptions, and handwriting. :)     If you would like a free copy of the nitrogen foldable or carbon foldable , you can find it at My Teachers Pay Teachers.

Kahoot!

Last year, I observed a classroom using Kahoot!  It is a free game reminiscent of when you play trivia against others at sports bars. You can create your own Kahoot games or find pre made games. It works like this: you create questions (or find a game) that can have up to four answers with pictures. When your game is created, you launch it and give your students the game code. They create a nickname to play that doesn't require them to create an account. Once the game starts, you need to be able to project the question and the students can answer on their smart devices or computers. My students absolutely love it! In fact, some of them have started writing their own review games and sharing them with me. Feel free to check out my science and math Kahoot games! My user name is tmschield.
