Returning to Arenas

Hi

I'm a teacher and I often have my students play in arenas in Lichess. My students are around 10 years old and we have a somewhat small challenge at hand. It seems that my students once in a while accidently closes the explorer or misclicks which takes them to another page. When that happens I get the question: "How do I get back to our arena?" To this day we have found three somewhat unstable methods.

Method 1: If you see a blue bar in the bottom click return to arena.
Method 2: Hit the "back" button in your explorer.
Method 3: Go to teams (our communication platform) and click the link I sent you again.

I am wondering if there is an easier way? I cant seem to find it anywhere in the forum so Im thinking we're the stupids. ;-)
All methods listed and especially the first one, which is provided by the site, seem perfectly fine to me. The first one is even very direct. What's the challenge they're facing exactly?

Edit: I'm not positive but it's possible the ongoing tournament would show up somewhere in lichess.org/@/JBSeverinsen/tournaments/recent, like in "upcoming" or "recently played". But it doesn't seem more direct or easier than other methods.
Anyways the path is: username --> profile --> tournament points

Edit 2: If it is a tournament created inside a lichess team, the student can just go to the team page and it will show a list of the most recent tournaments organized, the ones which are colored in yellow are ongoing.
To find the team the student can go to username --> profile and scroll down the biography (if any) to the teams which are in blue.
Or community (in the homepage top) --> teams
You can also go to your list of games, select a game from the arena, and you will find a link there.

On other chess sites with arenas, re-joining an arena is simple to figure out.
