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 3rd grade rounding, and addition and subtraction with whole numbers. Students will be practicing rounding to the nearest 10 or 100. Your class will also get practice with adding and subtracting within 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. 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.

    I completed this whole group with my class today and they LOVED it! The only suggestion I have is to perhaps realign your decoder. It didn’t match up once I put the brad in and made some of the shapes hard to decipher.

I want to come back to this later this year to try it out! I’m excited and I think the kids will be excited. Thanks for all of your hard work!

    I don’t know if there’s enough space to tell you how much fun this was for my students and me!! I LOVE escape the room games and was so excited to find this product. This was a great activity for my 3rd Graders. We used it as a review for our end of unit test this week and they were completely engaged the whole time! I decorated our hallway since we are departmentalized and everyone was participating so it was really an event for us. The students have already requested to do this again and I will definitely be purchasing other products. It was easy to set up and so helpful that you provided the black and white versions to save ink. The value of this product is amazing. Thank you so much for all of your hard work on this. You rock! 🙂

  200. Deanne Caldwell –

    I am so excited about this…. I am going to save this one for mid October, but may have to buy some of the other ones. I think my class will love this!!
