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 place value skills with your 2nd grade class. Students will be practicing place value skills with three digit numbers, skip counting, comparing numbers, and reading and writing numbers less than 1,000.

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 2nd 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.

    What a great product! It was a lot of set up on the teacher’s part but the instructions and pictures make it SUPER easy. I did it as a whole class. It was a little hectic with 20 kids. Next time, I will do it as a center where only 5 kids are working together at once.

    I can’t even tell you how much fun we had with this! My students were FREAKING OUT! It was fantastic. I totally set the scene of zombies invading our school. When we had solved it all, we checked all the halls of the school and celebrated outside by cheering and running around. The only thing that caught me off guard was the calculator (we don’t have those in our classroom), so I had to make sure I brought one from home.

    My evaluation was the day after Halloween so I did this!! The principal loved it.

When we were done, my kids were wanting to do this everyday and can’t wait for the next time we do it!!

  170. Cassandra S.

    This was too fun! My students enjoyed every minute of it. They loved the shape decoder, emoji code and puzzle. The students literally ran out the door to make sure they could escape. Too funny! Very engaging and the perfect review of place value for my second grader.

  171. MIA H.

    I did this as a Halloween math activity today and my kids LOVED it!!!!! I even found some creepy sounds to play…but it may have been too creepy.
