This is a physical escape room to be completed after reading the Lorax. Students will answer comprehension questions for their clues along with spelling some sight words and vocabulary words. It all ends with them unscrambling letters to make the door code.

This will take some prep. You will need to print off all the clues (which I included some options already) like the gloves and the watering can. You then hang those up around the room for the students to find. Have a stack of clues by that item so students can get their next clue.

I would recommend having the students complete this in groups no bigger than 3 or 4. Each group will need a clue sheet so they can keep track of their clues and also provide you with answers. This also has the area where they will provide the door code. You will also need to provide the timer for the students. I recommend putting it on a projector board so all the students can see the time.

You start off by showing the students the intro message from the Lorax, then you provide the groups with the clue sheets, and Clue # 1.

If you would like to do a virtual escape room, I also have created one to go along with The Lorax.

I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

This bundle includes 10 Lorax products I have created. These products include multiple movie-watch-along, activities focused on characters and events, coloring sheets, a virtual and physical escape room, and a Lorax-themed jeopardy game! I hope you enjoyit. Please rate and review!

Special Thanks to Plearn for supplying the Lorax Clip Art. Go check out Plearn’s Store!
