Cross-curricular - can be used in science and social studies classes as well.Included with purchase:- Copy of crime scene photo with story and discussion questions for group

Bible Break out Box || using Parables!
This is the opposite of an Escape Room as you are breaking into a box. This religious game uses four parables - sower, talents, lost sheep and the good Samaritan. My kids have played these in school and they call it “break out boxes”. In my opinion, it should be called “break in” because you’re racing to break-in to the last box! There are four boxes total (one inside the others) and you have to figure out how to get into each one. You can have as many groups as you have materials for. If you h
