Figurative Language Escape Room Literary Devices Breakout Activity Haunted House: Engage your students with this interactive Figurative Language Escape Room Breakout Activity! Students will demonstrate their understanding of figures of speech and literary devices by visiting stations and completing puzzles and challenges related to simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia, and oxymoron. This escape room can be set up in a traditional format with classroom stations, or it can be used as a daily bell-ringer challenge. In the bell-ringer option, students work with their group for the first 5-10 minutes of class from Monday to Friday, progressively getting closer to escaping by the end of the week.
Escape Scenario: House 13 on Shady Knoll Lane, long avoided for its eerie reputation tied to Madame Anguis, becomes the focus when students receive a mysterious package labeled "Vital Medical Advice Required Immediately." When they venture inside, they find the mansion unexpectedly lit by flickering candlelight. As a door slams shut behind them, trapping them inside, they discover five rooms each lit by torches matching the colors of locks on the exit.

Below are the tasks students will complete:
-
The Black Room - Simile: Students will read three cards and identify similes within them to form a three-number code needed to unlock the black lock.
-
The Blue Room - Metaphors: Students will read a parchment passage and count how many metaphors are used. They must then fold the page to reveal a second text and count metaphors again for the second digit to unlock the blue lock.
-
The Yellow Room - Oxymoron: Students will examine three texts to find examples of oxymorons. They will determine the order of the cards by creating an oxymoronic expression using the titles of the texts, obtaining a three-number code to unlock the yellow lock.
-
The Green Room - Onomatopoeia: Students will analyze a spooky passage for examples of onomatopoeia. Inputting these words into a table will reveal a mystery phrase necessary to open the green lock.
-
The Red Room: All Figurative Language: Students will showcase their understanding of simile, metaphor, oxymoron, and onomatopoeia by arranging sentences into a grid. Once correctly organized, this information will unveil a four-letter word essential for unlocking the red lock.
Before beginning this escape room, students should have a solid understanding of the following types of figurative language: simile, metaphor, oxymoron, and onomatopoeia.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our students loved this activity! I did not use this activity across multiple days but used it for an entire class period (90 minutes). The students had already learned about figurative language so I used it as a review and added a few slides at the beginning as a refresher for specific types of figurative language. The students were excited and engaged during the activity and I believe this activity was well worth the money. I will definitely look for other activities from Presto Plans. Thank you so much for such a great activity!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is worth every penny, they are so well put together and really make reviewing figurative language fun. Thankfully I have access to a colour printer because the final product is beautiful. I have used many resources from this seller and will continue to use them in the future.
