St. Patrick's Day Math Games and Digital Escape Room Fun!
It's March! Well....... it's so close that at this point I am going to put February behind me. I am moving on to warmer temperatures, (although where I live they aren't too warm in the Midwest) and a celebration that puts a smile on my face ~ St. Patrick's Day! I am highlighting some fun St. Patrick's Day Math Games and a Digital Escape Room.
So no one loves the pinching tradition, but they love the excitement of the gold, that sneaky leprechaun and let's face it any holiday that is supposed to give you LUCK is a winner for me! For any special holiday or celebration, I am wanting something easy, fun, and engaging for my students, BUT I want them to be learning at the same time. I've pulled together a few of my favorites that are some digital St. Patrick's Day math games and a digital escape room.
For some easy, no prep digital St. Patrick's Day fun, try this digital escape room below. It has different skills your students can be reviewing such as inferences, homophones, contractions, and synonyms while they are trying to find their lost invitation to Lucky the Leprechaun's party. Haven't done an escape room before? Read below for how I set mine up and most typical digital escape rooms.
What is a digital escape room?
A digital escape room is an online game that begins with a theme or scenario. Students generally work collaboratively in groups of 2 or 3 in order to escape/breakout/solve the mystery. They are challenged to solve puzzles in order to find clues and codes. This breakout has 5 codes to break. Escape rooms are fun and engaging for students and they LOVE them!
Check out the video preview of the St. Patrick's Day Escape Room.
St. Patrick's Day Digital Math Mysteries
Digital Math Mysteries are a fun and engaging activity where students begin reading or listening to the story, solve the word problems, and click on the correct answer. If the correct answer is chosen, the story continues. If a wrong answer is chosen, a 'stopper' will tell them to go back to where they were working, and TRY AGAIN!
Check out each of the grade levels below. I have these in paper format in my store.

St. Patrick's Day Digital Escape Room Fun
Escape Rooms or some call them breakouts are usually made for small groups of students to work together to solve the mystery. The kids worked together at their tables, but they wanted to each have their own computer to work on. I don't have a problem with that!
I gave each student a planning sheet to use to write their codes on. I would say about half the kids used the planning page, but the other kids just went back to the main page on Google Sites and recorded their answers.
For the early finishers, I made sure they knew what they could work on while the rest of the students finished their adventure. Once everyone had a chance to find their way to Lucky the Leprechaun's party, we celebrated with little lucky lollies! (suckers)
This first digital escape room is called The Case of the St. Patrick's Day Party just in time for St. Patrick's Day. I hope you decide to check it out!
AND, if you are a math mystery fan, I've begun making my math mysteries digital! Fun, right?! Since it is March, I started with The Case of the Mixed-Up March Madness for Third Grade.
Thanks for stopping by!

Leprechaun Loot for St. Paddy's Day!
After they were all wrapped up, I put them in my handy dandy Highlights treasure box I got 20 or so years ago. I'm going to make (oh who are we kidding-) I'm going to BUY some cookies for the kids. The kids who get the gold pieces, will get one of the 'special' cookies. Of course, all the kids are going to get a cookie . . . I'm not cruel!
There are so many fun things to do with leprechauns, but I can barely get through my curriculum as it is! This will be a fun way to celebrate in a quick and easy way.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
