BACK TO SCHOOL ESCAPE ROOM PRINT AND DIGITAL BUNDLE: THE CLASSROOM FLOOR IS LAVA
Use this back to school digital and print escape room team builder to help foster classroom community and improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
This can be used in English class as it incorporates some ELA skills (spelling, homophones, capitalization), but can also work for any other subject!
The best part is that your purchase comes with a hand-drawn video, created by the talented John Spencer, that introduces the escape room and tells the back story to hook students in.
HOW IT WORKS
Students watch a video that introduces the escape room back story. They are at school on the weekend preparing for the upcoming school dance when the floor cracks open and stars spewing lava. Their only chance at escaping is to get the code to the elevator that brings them to the roof, but their teacher has protected the passphrase with challenges and puzzles.
If using the print version, students use response sheets to record their answers to the puzzles/riddles as they circulate the room to different stations. If it works for your particular students, you can have them not touch the floor between the stations and use the included signs to indicate safe “lava free” spots where they can step.
If using the digital version, students can use the self-checking, password-protected file to enter the passphrase needed to escape.
