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 multiplication with your third grade students. Students will be practicing simple multiplication facts in this game.

This is an interactive game where the students are timed. They are trying to save turkeys from becoming Thanksgiving dinner. 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 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 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.

  80. Books and Cleverness –

    My kids had fun. I wish I had followed your suggestions and played as a class the first time we did the activity, because my kids misunderstood and started opening all of the envelopes at the same time. Once I had set them straight, we all had fun. I’ll definitely be trying another one of these in the future.

  96. Krista D. –

    Anytime I tell my class we are doing one of your breakouts they get so excited. They really love the decoders 🙂

  97. Adventures of Third –

    My kids LOVED this. Thank you for a wonderful product.

  98. Mrs Randall –

    My kids had a blast doing this. Did take a bit of prep time, but worth it once I saw how much each group enjoyed it!

  99. Jennifer T. –

    Confusing to put together, but easier once I did the first one. Way too hard for my 3rd graders to complete on their own. If I do it again, I’ll do it whole group

  100. Buyer –

    Kids had a blast doing this. Some effort to get together.

  101. Kelly D. –

    My kids had a blast! Thank you!

  102. Jenna M. –

    Great

  103. Sharonda M. –

    I can’t wait to play this game!

  104. Netanya Elise –

    I loved this product and my kids did too. It was incredibly engaging for all of my students. I played this in groups and have to forewarn any purchaser that this took me several hours to prep. Overall, I was very happy with this product.

  105. Chantal B. –

    My students loved this product!!!! They had a blast! There is a spelling/grammar error on one of the task cards though. Also, I don’t know if we did it incorrectly or if the number is incorrect on one of the bigger envelopes on the front. Overall this product is well worth the money! My students really enjoyed it and I will definitely be using it again and again!

  106. Christine S. –

    Great game! I love how clear and precise everything is. The set-up directions were so clear that my 7 year old daughter was able to help me assemble the various envelopes.

  107. Lisa D. –

    My students love these activities!

  108. Buyer –

    This was SO MUCH FUN!!! My kids and I had a blast “Cracking the Code” the day before our Thanksgiving Break! Awesome resource!

  109. Katie B. –

    Holy heck! This product is absolutely AMAZING!! It is worth way more than it is priced at for everything that you get. The step by step instructions are so easy to follow. At first I was nervous after seeing how much there was to this activity, but the directions were clear and it honestly took no time at all to get all the materials ready. My students absolutely loved it. It was one of the few times this year that I actually heard my students say “Math is fun!”, which always makes me happy to hear. 🙂

  110. Liz Sellers –

    I LOVE this resource! Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to do it in our classroom this year because I just couldn’t get it ready in time with everything else we had going on. However, next year I will be working far in advance now to get it ready because the activity is adorable, engaging, and so much fun! It also would pair well with our mystery unit in reading that we do right before the month of November. Thank you so much!

  111. Barbara P. –

    Thank you for putting so much thought into this product. My kids loved cracking this code.

  112. Alexandra L. –

    These are always so much fun! Thanks for sharing!

  113. Heather M. –

    Fun!

  114. Melissa Franklin –

    My students absolutely love Cracking the Classroom Code activities. These take some extra time to put together but you have made it very easy to do. Thank you for making these. Keep it up!

  115. Tracee G. –

    Lots of fun.

  116. K M. –

    My kids beg for these every holiday. I teach 4th, but I wanted to get kids doing these in smaller groups. I went for the 3rd grade level, and they were perfectly capable of doing these in groups of 4-5. At one point they were all stuck on the same clue, and it was great motivation for them all to keep working. My groups ended up finishing within 2 minutes of each other, and it was the perfect wrap up before leaving for Thanksgiving break.

  117. Steven F. –

    Thank you! Great resource. My kids had a blast.

  118. Whoo’s Teaching Third –

    Thank you for such a great quality activity!

  119. Jennifer Salazar –

    My students LOVED this! We did it in teams and it worked out perfectly!

  120. Laurie D. –

    This did involve quite a bit of prep work, but the directions included made perfect sense to get everything ready. The activity was an awesome challenge for my students! I especially loved that they needed to read carefully and it wasn’t just about solving the math problems!

  121. Trisha W. –

    Kids loved it!

  122. Easy Peasy Teaching – Monica Holford –

    Thank you!!

  123. Christyn K. –

    This product is worth WAY more than it’s price! It was an AMAZING activity with my students! They loved every moment of the riddles and searching for the envelopes/answers! We played this in groups of 4. Preparing this activity took some serious time, but it is worth it!! I will definitely use this in future years.

  124. Michele Burgoyne –

    THIS WAS THE BEST BEST BEST EVER!!! My kids loved it! I did not do as was recommended and try it once with the whole class! Live and learn! I would do it once with the class and then on the next one…go to town! My kids struggled because they saw the packet next to the letter “C” and some groups thought that was the next packet to use! I had to ask them to reread their clue! THIS IS FUNTASTIC!!!! Will be buying more!

  125. cathy Z. –

    My students have done several escape rooms but this was definitely one of their favorites. They felt challenged which I think is very important in an escape room. Yes, you must be willing to put some time into the prep… but again, I think that is what makes a good escape room! I know I’ll be using it next year so it’s a good investment of time! I’m working on my holiday escape now! Is there a New Year one?? 🙂

  126. Audra H. –

    My students LOVED this!!! Definitely worth the $4! I will be purchasing more products like this!

  127. wendy T. –

    We did this as a whole group the day before Thanksgiving break and my students loved it! I gave each student a sheet to solve the problems and they were all engaged and working!

  128. Leigh Ann Summers – Summers School –

    It might have taken forever to prep for four groups, but it was worth it! My students were practicing their multiplication facts and they didn’t even know it! They can’t wait to do another one! Thanks!!!

  129. Jessica Kularski –

    This provided the perfect way to review fact fluency during the short week before Thanksgiving. Every student was engaged and worked together to save the turkeys! Thanks for the great activity, I can’t wait to buy another one soon! 🙂

  130. Lauren H. –

    My students are so excited to do another escape room! The first one was the Halloween one and they loved it. Looking forward to even more!

    First, I want to say that this product is worth WAY more than it’s price point! Second, This was an AMAZING activity with my students! They loved every moment of the QR codes and searching for the envelopes/answers! We played this in groups of 4. Preparing this activity took some serious paper cutter time, but it is worth it!! I will be using this in future years, no doubt!

  139. karen S. –

    My class LOVES these! I love how easy they are to prepare! Love the options of colors and black and white.
