Christmas Escape Room Activity - The Reindeer Games Digital Breakout Challenge - Use this digital Christmas escape room-style activity to help foster classroom community and improve team-building and problem-solving skills during the holiday season. Students love the challenge of an escape room and this is perfect to use that last week before the holidays when students have lots of energy. It can be used in English class as it incorporates some ELA skills, but can also easily 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 reindeer games and tells the back story to hook students in!

This is a digital resource and students complete all the work on a device. This works well with distance learning, 1:1 classrooms, remote teaching, Google Classroom, or online education. 

This is included in a holiday bundle:

How The Reindeer Games Digital Christmas Escape Room Works:
  • Students watch a video that introduces the reindeer games back story. Then, students receive a digital letter inviting them to the annual Reindeer Games in the North Pole.
  • They will compete in physical, problem-solving, and linguistic skills digital challenges. This is not just a competition, it is also a job interview; the winning group gets to be the next team of reindeer trainers! Because Santa is such a grammar nerd, students will also have to complete some ELA-related tasks to win. Students should have a basic understanding of parts of speech as well as figurative language (simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, alliteration, pun, oxymoron, onomatopoeia, idiom).
  • Students use response slides to record their answers to the digital puzzles and riddles.
