My students loved this breakout activity and even those without a lot of Jewish background could participate. One small critique is that the activity with the gematria is a little confusing. Why do you need to put the story in order and match the letters with the little tiles to get the phrase Chag Sameach when it is written on the gematria page. It wasn't relevant enough to the game (although I understand why it is a worthy activity pedagogically). Also, the way the numbers were spaced above the megillot, it made it very hard to cut them out. This was a special challenge because I was making enough sets for 11 groups of students to play the game.

The Purim Breakout Box activity was a huge hit! I made a few modifications to some of the activities, but it worked out really well.
