Escape Room

Recently I did a Escape Room with 4th grade on the Intermediate campus and I had so much fun! Since it is close to the end of the year the budgets are running low so I had to keep it as cheap as possible. The decorations I used are ones that I repurposed from a professional development earlier this year. The box and lock I used are from home.

Lesson:
I downloaded a free perimeter and area lesson from The Escape Classroom. The lesson was a little hard for our 4th graders so I tweaked it to make it work. The lesson came with a free introduction video, how-to instructions, a power point, and all of the handouts. We had 30 minutes for each class so I did have to scale down the lesson than what was originally intended. Which is perfectly ok! You have to know your audience and their needs. A lesson that someone else created may not fit exactly what you need, but that doesn't mean you can't still do it. Just modify it to make it work for your students.

I wish I had taken more pictures. I was having so much fun I didn't take as many as I would have liked. Here are a few that I did get!

Working hard as a team!

They Escaped!

Working hard to break that code!

I had a blast working with these amazing 4th graders! I am currently tweaking this Escape Room for the 2nd graders on my campus!
This lesson looks very involved but it did not take a lot of planning on my part. I already had the decorations and I was able to take a lesson that was already completed and simply tweak it to meet the needs of my students. Thank you for stopping by!
