Using the breakout edu box has been fascinating to watch how children not only work in groups but individually as well. Some hover around the box, trying any old combination, whilst others work on a clue, but give up quite quickly.
First time round (during Year 5 mixed up Mondays) there was only one group who managed to work well together and solved 4 out of 5 clues. Second time round we had a discussion beforehand about how we could work effectively as a team when there was such a big group. They realised that there were 5 clues that needed to be solved so perhaps they should split into 5 teams. Then when they had solved their clue they could go and help a different team. Success for all groups!
