Make learning about Mardi Gras interesting with this no-prep Mardi Gras digital escape game.  The game includes access to a website where your students will hunt for the keys to unlock a set of locks.  Students will need to read the clues very carefully and watch videos, visit websites, and read texts to find the information they need to win the game.  Very easy to use - just send your students to the website and let them work!  Students can play individually or in teams. 

Mardi Gras is here! Your friend has sent you some beads, but you can't open the box they're in without figuring out the codes to the locks. Learn about Mardi Gras and open the box to get your prize in this Mardi Gras digital escape game. This is a challenging activity that students will need to work together and think critically in order to complete. All readings are in English

Digital escape games are a fun way to start a unit, or to review at the end of a unit.  They can also be used to learn about a cultural or historical event.  This game will have your students reading carefully and paying attention to the smallest details in order to complete the challenge and unlock the locks.  

This item includes:

• Access to a website where your students can play the game
• Complete teacher's guide to playing the game
• Answer key so you can help students if they get stuck!

Your students will enjoy learning without even realizing that they are learning!  The challenging game format will get them excited about finding the code to unlock each lock - and the format of the clues for each lock will have them paying close attention - there's no way to solve the puzzles  without being 100% focused! 

Topics in this game include:

• Krewes
• Throws
• The Cajuns
• King's Cake
• Calculating the Date of Mardi Gras (note that the game is updated each year, so be sure to download the updated teacher guide so you'll have the correct answer key!)

Prep is very easy - you just need to share the website URL with your students.  You may want to test the site before you use it, just to make sure nothing is blocked by your district.  As some of the clues can be challenging to unlock, you may choose to help your students with the trickier ones.  With the teacher guide, you will have the answer key - so you can help guide students towards the correct answer by giving them hints, or if you have limited time, you can adjust the game by reducing the number of locks they need to unlock - just give them the answer(s) to help the activity fit your time constraints.

Looking for a collaborative project this Winter that focuses on cultural traditions? Most of your students are probably already pretty familiar with Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, and Valentine's Day. But have they ever heard of La Chandeleur, La Fête des Rois, Jour des Aieux, Carnaval, or dozens of other holidays celebrated throughout the Francophone world from December through February?

This flexible group project is a great way to expose your students to a wide variety of cultural traditions and practices in a short amount of time with minimal effort on your part!

Students will work in groups of 2-4 to research Winter holidays in a given francophone country. Each member will focus on one holiday in their country, conduct research, and create a group slide presentation to teach the rest of the class what they have learned. Optional graphic organizers are perfect for diverse learners and guided notes for students to use during presentations keep everyone engaged and learning!

Includes:

-Notes to teacher with pacing suggestions

-Detailed Project Directions and Easy grading rubric

-29 Francophone Country cards

-Graphic Organizer

-Presentation Notes

-Materials available in English and French to make this work for all levels!

Perfect for giving yourself a break before Winter Break by focusing on teamwork and letting students teach each other! This is also a great project for those long, slow winter days that tend to drag in January and February.

Do your students work better alone? There is an Individual Version of this project! Are you looking for both options? These projects are also sold together as the Francophone Country Winter Holiday Project Bundle.
