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 simple addition with your first grade class.

This is an interactive game where the students are timed. They are trying to escape a mob of zombies that has overtaken the school. Students must solve a string of math questions and clues, as well as decode different ciphers, to escape. For 1st grade I highly suggest these escape games always be played as a whole class.

**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.

    I really loved this activity and how organized it is. However, it was way too hard for my 1st graders. I would recommend adding 2nd grade to the grade levels listed.

    So. Much. Fun! Thank you!

  39. Melissa M. –

    This was super fun but tough as a whole class. I bought this for my grade 2’s, mostly so they could learn to work together and figure out clues before dealing with tougher questions to answer…it was hard for them!! We tried it as a whole class and used ‘inside-outside’ circles in teams to play because some people had take notes lead and others were walking around the room with no care in the world…it was still hard…i recommend doing it in groups even though it is more work to set up. I think now that my class saw it as a whole they will be ready and amped up to do it in small groups where there is more chances to have your hands right in there working!

  40. Joslyn Buhler –

    This was fun to do on Halloween. It was a little long for my first graders. If I do another one, I will do it small group and have them compete against each other. It got to busy for all the students in my class to do it whole class.
