Rockin' Teacher Materials: It's Time to Escape!

11:20 AM

Have you ever done an Escape Room? You look for clues around a room and try to figure out how they fit together to solve a puzzle. I LOVE finding the clues to solve the puzzle. I have started making Escape Rooms online and they are very similar to a real Escape Room, but include reading, video clips, and games! With all that's included, it's more of an Interactive Learning Experience!

What is in an Escape Room?

In each Escape Room there are 4-5 tasks to learn about a topic. Each task has:

Read About It : A short reading passage
Watch the Video: A short clip on the topic
Your Clue: A fun game to play to figure out the clue!
Just for Fun: A fun extra activity to play learning about the topic

How do I use an Escape Room in my classroom?

Put students in groups to work through the 'Read About It' and 'Watch the Video' sections. Then, let each student try to solve the puzzle and come back together to decide what the lock code is.
Students work on one task each day and then complete it independently in class or at home.
Introduce the task by having students reading together, then completing the rest of the task at home or on their own independently.
Introduces the task and watch the video clip as a class, students then complete the rest of the task independently or with partners.

There are SO many ways to use the Escape Rooms!
