Description
Like this? Why not try the EARTH DAY Escape? Escape rooms are a fun and engaging way to introduce or review with students about different topics. This sample escape room is a good way to see how escape rooms will work in your classrooms. Students read an informational paragraph, watch a video, solve a puzzle to find the clue for the escape room and play a 'just for fun' game for early finishers.
How does it work?
Students begin in an escape room and click START. They will see a presentation with instructions. They will be instructed to open the lock codes page and a notes page to keep track of the clue answers. A typical escape room has between 5-8 clues so it would be a great activity to use in teams. Some of the benefits of kids using these in teams are:
- Develops teamwork and collaboration
- Builds critical thinking skills
- Promotes problem-solving skills
- Promotes communication
- Paperless and No Prep
- Reinforces concepts
- Engaging and fun!
Included in this download
- Teacher Guide of directions on how to use the resource with tips for how to introduce a digital escape room
- A link to Help the Honey Bees Make it Home escape room.
- Answer Keys for the activity and lock code
- QR Codes (for accessing the site with mobile devices using a QR code reader app)
- Digital and printable recording sheet to keep track of clues
- Great for e-learning, just send the links through Google Classroom or another LMS or to parents' email and they're off to solve the mystery from home! Parents can download the PDF worksheet for students to take notes if desired.
