Description

Will your class escape in time? Try this escape room style game with your students today! This is a fun game that is perfect for reviewing data collection and graphs with your 1st grade students. Add this game to your St. Patrick’s Day fun!

This is an interactive game where the students are timed. There is a hidden pot of gold, and students must get to it before the leprechaun does! Students must solve a string of questions and clues, as well as decode different ciphers to find the gold. 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 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 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.

  31. Megan P.

    I loved this and so did the kids. I work with first grade kiddos and they had a lot of fun. One problem they had though was deciding the Morse code. Because some of the dots were so close together, students had a hard time figuring out where each letter ended. I think a code like the one used in the end of the year bundle might work better. Other than that, the kids had a blast.

  32. Janelle D.

    My students loved this activity!

  33. J w

    Great resource

  34. Kelly H.

    This activity aligned perfectly with the unit my students were studying at the time! We had so much fun following the clues and finding the pot of gold! It was a great wrap up to our unit on sorting, recording, and interpreting data. Very engaging and once I got past the initial setup, it will be easy to use year after year! Love the QR codes! I ended up purchasing several other Crack the Code activities by Teresa! Thank you for helping to make learning fun!
