You can use this activity as an ongoing lesson for a few days or challenge your students to "breakout" in one day! -- Completing this challenge in one day would be a whole day activity; not just one or two literacy periods).
 
HOW TO USE:
-NOTE: students will require use of the internet to watch the videos for challenges 2 and 4
-students use the information in the readings or videos to complete the challenges
-once they solve each puzzle, they are given two or three letter clues (either digitally on the Google Form or on paper by the teacher)
-these letter clues must be unscrambled to solve a Christmas-themed riddle/joke given at the end of the breakout!
