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.)

Teaching Channel

Another great free resource is the Teaching Channel . I used it when I was looking for ideas on teaching middle schoolers integers. On the website, I found a video and lesson plan for a scenario a teacher set up for her students to make it more tangible. They email weekly with videos on various topics, like common core.

Freebie: Interactive 3D Models

DewWool is a newer store with many free online resources! I found the " Root Structure " diagram and thought it was too good not to share.  This is for you if you need resources for students to label structures. (It also includes math and elementary education resources.) The resources appear to be simple and easy to use. One downfall, because it's free, is there are advertisements. I know this was a concern with the last school I worked at students: viewing unapproved materials via popup ads. Photo by  おにぎり  on  Unsplash
