50 States - Digital Breakout Activities


Escape rooms are  popular social challenges for people around the world and as most of us are aware they’ve made there way into our classrooms through physical and digital breakouts. Digital breakouts are a great way to engage students in content and the 4Cs of collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. I’ve used both digital and physical breakouts with students and they both have their places in today’s classrooms. 


Today I wanted to share a collection of incredible digital breakouts connected to the 50 States created by Peggy Reimers. I’ve also included some great resources for additional breakout ideas at the end of the post. 

The 50 States Digital Breakout is an incredible collection of digital breakouts using Google Sites and Google Forms. 



There is a unique page for each of the 50 states. Students will explore information about the state as they look for clues to complete the different locks in the Google Form. 


Peggy has some great tips on the 50 States Digital Breakout Home Page and she also has a great post on the TCEA blog with more about her site.
