Description
Oh no! Can your kindergarten - first grade students use their literacy, math, and problem-solving skills to solve the clues to this escape room in time to save the animals' end of the year graduation ceremony?
This fun, easy to set up (no props needed) escape room will keep your students engaged and learning at the end of the school year when it can be hard to keep their attention! They will love finding and figuring out the clues and lock combinations that will help open the school so the animals can receive their diplomas! It is a great way to practice and review skills while working together as a team!
I have also included a bonus activity. After students have solved all the clues and opened the locks, they can use inferencing and deductive reasoning skills to help Detective Danny Dog eliminate suspects from the Pesky Dog Pack and figure out which one tried to stop the graduation ceremony.
