Description
Using technology and problem solving skills, students decipher codes and complete activities to learn Coding Vocabulary that they will use in any coding program. The activities are housed in a Google Slides file and students enter their codes into a locked Google Form. If you’ve been wanting to try an escape room or digital breakout with your students, this is a great place to start.

Resource Format
- This activity can be done in Google Slides or PowerPoint, so it is flexible to meet your technology needs.
Each Resource in the bundle Includes:
- There are 6 codes to find and they require a mix of technology skills, so this makes a great partner or small group activity.
- Students learn about and practice making decisions about the coding vocabulary topic.
- Something that makes these digital breakouts unique is that they also include a reading passage with vocabulary on the topics, making them very relevant to today’s students. The reading passage is on a 4th grade level.
Info for the teacher to consider:
- Most groups should be able to complete each breakout in 30-45 minutes.
- If this is your first digital breakout then I recommend solving the puzzles as a whole group activity.
- The hints are meant to be used! Most puzzles can’t be solved without taking the hint. It is designed this way on purpose.
- With this resource you will receive a link to a Google Slides file. From there you can share your copy of the Slides file with your students, or download it as a PowerPoint file to share that way.

Kids were engaged and loved these during distance learning! I will use them this year in person too. Super fun and engaging! Thank you!

Some of my students LOVED one breakout that I bought last year, so I decided to get the whole bundle. This will help me next year to make sure and touch on all of the topics in our coding unit. Very well made and engaging.

I used this in small breakout room groups to reinforce some of the Coding vocab we have been discussing in class. The kids loved the challenge.

I used this with 6th grade as an intro to coding – at the same time we were learning to use scratch and code.org – so went really well as an intro. The only negative thing is that we use ipads and the activities with the magnifying glass did not work, they couldn’t drag/use arrow keys to move it. We just made a box behind it to see the code. Really like the google forms to turn in

I was very excited to find these coding digital activities since robotics and coding is going to look very different this year. Thank you for such a detailed product!! I love it.
