World War II Customizable Breakout Game w/Digital Lesson

Looking for a way to get your students talking, moving, and collaborating? Look no further!

This game was designed for high school students to introduce World War I or to help them review what they have learned about World War I. Some of the topics covered in this game include the important figures of World War II, the events leading up to World War II, vocabulary, and the turning points in the war.

You can use physical locks and a lock box (click here to purchase an official Breakout Edu Box) or a digital Google Form with this game. (The form is included with your purchase. Click here to learn how to make your own digital breakout forms!)

E-Learning Update:
★ A Google Site has been added to this resource that hosts all of the elements of this lesson. This means that you can use this lesson in an E-Learning Setting.

This purchase includes:
★ A detailed document outlining each clue card, setup, and running the game
★ An answer sheet for students
★ An editable Google Slides document for all of the clue cards
★ A digital breakout Google Form that is pre-set to accept the correct answers for this game
★ A Google Site that hosts all of the Clue Cards, Posters, and Supplemental Files for e-Learning. (This can be used as a Digital Breakout.)

NOTE - This lesson does not go into detail about the Holocaust. I didn’t feel that it was an appropriate topic for a game-based lesson, so this lesson focuses more on the events, battles, and important people from the time period.

Notes:
★ Breakout games involve additional setup such as printing clues, color coding clues (if you let students work in teams), and in some cases writing on supplemental files with invisible ink
★ Supplies needed for this game include invisible ink pens, black light flashlights, and QR Readers
★ If you purchase this breakout and are not able to get all of the supplies, please get in touch with me. I can help you create alternate ways to present the clue to students if needed.
★ Most of these games involve clues that have a uniform answer, regardless of where the game is played. However, some games involve numbers such as pages in a dictionary or atlas. In these cases, the explanation document will tell you that you need to customize the answer based on your resources.

Please try the game at least one day before you would like to try it with your students and get in touch with me if you have any questions. I usually respond to emails within a few hours. Try it out beforehand to ensure that you completely understand how each clue can be solved.
