Breakout Edu

Elementary school teacher elaborated an activity, which she calls “Break Edu” as a part of a project called “Travel with Flash” that her class participates in. This project consists of working English class contents with the help of a connecting thread of Flash. Flash is a pet cat of the Erasmus + project in which the entire school participates. Flash brings the students material in English, information about the places where he travels and puts them in contact with other schools of the project. So, children are already familiar with the character of Flash, who motivates them to participate in different activities.
