School may be out for summer, but learning doesn\u2019t have to end! We offer a wide variety of solutions and resources that students and families can use to stay engaged in learning all summer long. Whether students have access to their Teams for Education account or their family\u2019s Microsoft 365 account, there are many fun ways to avoid the summer slip. This year, we have created a free, summer-long learning game, Leaps and Logs, that allows kids to challenge a friend, neighbor, family member, or themselves by completing fun learning tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this game, students complete challenge tasks from a variety of categories including English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Coding, and Arts\/Music. Then they share what they learned or created with other players or a family member, extending learning a step further!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tasks can be completed by students of most ages (age 8 or older recommended). Whether students code a game in Microsoft MakeCode or create a family or neighborhood newspaper in Microsoft Word, these learning tasks can take a varied length of time to complete. Kids can complete one or two rounds of play a day, extending their game play throughout the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students using Microsoft MakeCode<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Leaps and Logs can be played digitally or on paper (with access to a device for embedded task links). Full game directions can be found by downloading Leaps and Logs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Playing digitally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n GIF of opening Microsoft Whiteboard and uploading the Summer Learning Game board<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Playing on paper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether school is still in session or students have already left for the year, here are some ways educators and schools can share the Leaps and Logs Learning Game with students and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep learning going and kids entertained this summer with our free Leaps and Logs Learning Game! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" School may be out for summer, but learning doesn\u2019t have to end!
