3rd Grade Halloween Escape Room ELA and Math Review

Description

This Halloween math escape room from the witch’s brew will be a hit with 3rd-grade students! 3rd grade students will review ELA and math topics such as adding 3-digit numbers, solving for unknowns in multiplication problems, nonfiction, and fiction texts while solving escape room puzzles with subtle hints.

Tired of spending hours creating fun and interactive lessons for your students? Look no further! I have just the game for you. This escape room will:

Save you time, because I planned and organized it for you.
Help your students review key ELA and math standards in a fun and engaging way.
Provide your students with collaborative learning and team-building opportunities.
Give you the opportunity to reach even your most reluctant learners. Students won’t even realize they are learning, because they will be too involved in the game.
This is an interactive game where the students are timed. They are trying to escape being part of the witch’s brew. Students must solve a string of questions and clues, as well as decode different ciphers, to escape. Materials are provided for up to 6 different groups to play at one time.

You, the teacher, can decide how much time your students have to complete the task. I suggest 45 minutes, but it is up to your discretion. You can project a timer for your class, or put one somewhere for all the students to see, so they can keep track of how much time they have left to complete their task.

This is similar to a scavenger hunt where students will be moving around the room, looking for clues to unlock their tasks and folders (I have included riddles and suggestions on where to hide each clue). A paper is provided so students can write their work down. For many of the questions, students must have an answer that matches one on an envelope. If the answers do not match, they can’t open or “unlock” the task, and must rework the question.

*Everything is included in this Halloween math escape room, however teachers must provide their own file folders.

I give step-by-step instructions on how to set up the game, including pictures! This is sure to capture the attention of your students.
