Description

Will your class escape in time? Try this escape room game with your students today! This is a fun game that is perfect for reviewing reading strategies, specifically summarizing and context clues. Students will be visiting different countries all over the world, and learning about their Christmas traditions. This game is intended for 3rd-5th grade students.

This is an interactive game where the students are timed. They are trying to save Christmas by finding Santa’s lost toy bag. Students must solve a string of questions and clues, as well as decode different ciphers to escape. If your class has never played an escape game before, I suggest playing this as a whole class. However, materials are provided for up to 6 different groups to play at one time.

**Versions with and without QR codes included!

Students try and solve clues and questions to breakout and escape the classroom. You, the teacher, can decide how much time your students have to complete the task. I suggest 60 minutes, but it is up to your discretion. You can even split the time up and play 30 minutes one day, and 30 minutes a second day. Also, 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 envelopes (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 envelope, and must rework the question.

*Everything is included, however teachers must provide their own envelopes.

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.

Places students will visit on their journey around the world:
England
Italy
France
Russia
Canada
Australia
Mexico
Sweden
The Netherlands
America
Germany

Students will be practicing the following reading comprehension skills:
context clues
summarizing

I had an extremely hard time getting it ready, honestly could have just been me, and my kids not one in any grade from 3-6th was able to complete this. But I know it can be done and next year I plan on working on the skills and doing some practice before this so my students can do this fun unit.

    My class loved this, but if I could do it all over again, I might have started with a simpler example as a whole class task, then done this in teams. There were a few students who ‘got it’ right away, but because it was completely new, there were a few who struggled with following the very specific steps to move on. On the upside, next year’s crew who saw us doing this activity throughout the hall, library and class are very intrigued for next year! 🙂

They loved racing against one another, and were SO engaged. Once I got the hang of setting it up, the rest of the prep was pretty easy. My kids had a blast, and it forced them to really work as a team. (Social skills!) I love that there are so many ELA concepts to choose from too! I’ll definitely be coming back to snag some more of these Escape games. 🙂 Thank you!

    This was a really fun activity! It was the first Crack the Code I’ve ever done. It took awhile to set up, but was worth the time. It took my class almost an hour and a half to complete, but I think that was because I have a class of 3rd-4th graders, so they were on the younger end and it was our first one. I would definitely recommend it, the kids enjoyed it.

    Type A Teaching – November 14, 2017

    This is hands down the best product I’ve ever bought on TpT!! My students beg for these. They are time consuming to set up and reassemble after, but soooooo worth the time and money! I absolutely love them. I have bought 6 so far 🙂 and plan on buying more.

It’s been awhile, so I thought I’d introduce m It’s been awhile, so I thought I’d introduce myself! My name is Teresa Kwant and I create teaching resources for educators. Some facts about me: I don’t ever actually create products while sitting on the edge of my bed (or on any bed for that matter 😂), and up until 2 weeks ago I didn’t even own a laptop. That’s right, for 8 years I’ve only ever used a desktop. And, the laptop I purchased a couple weeks ago isn’t a Mac (the one in the photo is borrowed 🙈). So, now that the truth is out, and we can all agree working on the edge of any bed is unrealistic and most likely uncomfortable, here are some actual fun facts about me:
1️⃣: I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from the University of Utah. 
2️⃣: I taught 6th grade in an elementary school for 5 years. 
3️⃣: I have a technology endorsement for education. 
4️⃣: Ice cream is both an obsession and passion of mine. 
5️⃣: Reading is one of my favorite hobbies, but sometimes gets put on the back burner because #life. 
6️⃣: I’m a lefty. 
7️⃣: British television shows are my favorite. Some particular good ones include Call the Midwife, Downton Abbey, Poldark, and The Crown. 
8️⃣: From my husband—“You love a good party, and hosting them as well.” I cannot wait for Covid to end so I can get back to this one! What are some fun facts about you? I’d love to hear! Share them in the comments below.
I need to remind myself of this! Don’t get stuck I need to remind myself of this! Don’t get stuck dwelling on past mistakes, or question things you could have done differently.  Continue to improve each day. We all make mistakes. We need to learn to love ourselves, and others, through the good and bad. We’ve got this! #teacherquotes #teacherinspiration #teacherquote #teachersofinstagram

I’m joining the #thankateacherchallenge with @te I’m joining the #thankateacherchallenge with @teacherspayteachers. This pandemic has not been easy on any of us, including the kids. My son’s 2nd grade class has been reading Flat Stanley. Yesterday, he received a flat teacher in the mail of his teacher! He now gets to take her around and do activities with her and write about it. So, we went on a bike ride with his flat teacher, and he even made her a helmet to stay safe 🚲. My son has had the best year with his teacher, and it was so sad when his time was unexpectedly cut short in the classroom. He told me he “feels gloomy and misses his teacher and school,” so this was just the boost he needed! I’m so grateful for a creative and dedicated educator who continues to be involved in her students lives, even through this challenging time. Teachers all over the world are coming up with innovative ways to stay connected with their students. @kirstenskaboodle @wifeteachermommy what teacher (is it even possible to narrow it to ONLY one?!) do you want to thank today?
