Get your students excited about coordinates on Presidents' Day! These worksheets aim to plot a number of coordinates to find an inspiring message to celebrate some of the most influential US Presidents who all left their mark on history.

  • Abraham Lincoln — "Whatever you are, be a good one."
  • Franklin D. Roosevelt — "Be sincere, be brief, be seated."

Directions: Students will plot the letters in the coordinate plane. The letters should be written above each point. Then, they will read the message from left to right. Finally, they'll write the message in the given space.

A coordinate grid is included with this activity. Only the First Quadrant is used therefore it can be used for beginners.


With this resource, you can challenge your class to test their understanding of coordinates to find the hidden message in a fun and meaningful way. So it's a great way to challenge their skills.

Abraham Lincoln Escape Room Activity

By Creative Primary Literacy

An Abraham Lincoln Escape Room activity. Ideal for fifth grade or sixth grade, the breakout room activity is perfect for group work, Presidents Day, an American Civil War topic, team-building activities or for a fun, engaging and interactive lesson. The activity can be used in English class as it incorporates some ELA skills or in Social Studies.

The activity has been split into four different tasks; your students will need to complete each of the tasks to reveal a word. Together the four words make a phrase for them to escape the room.

Included in this resource:

  • Student guidelines for completing the tasks meaning no teacher prep
  • A student answer key to complete as they work through the tasks
  • An informational text or reading comprehension passage
  • A true or false fact sheet & maze
  • A crossword puzzle
  • A timeline activity & answer key
  • A wordsearch puzzle
  • Teacher answer sheets for each task

⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻

In Task 1 students will read an informational text about Abraham Lincoln and then find their way through a maze by answering true or false comprehension questions. If they answer the questions correctly they will reveal their first word.

In Task 2 students will use the same informational text to complete a crossword puzzle. Within the puzzle there are several hidden letters which will need to be unscrambled on the completion of the puzzle to reveal the second word.

In Task 3 students will have to cut out 27 timeline task cards before putting them in order from the earliest date to the most recent. When they have finished their task they can glue them onto the answer key which will reveal their third word.

In Task 4 students will have to find the missing words in a wordsearch puzzle before finding a hidden word from the letters that are left over in the puzzle. This hidden word is their fourth and final word.

Students can then complete their student answer key with the four words they revealed before checking with the teacher to see if they have escaped successfully.
