If you are looking for the perfect way to review the hero's journey with your students using a rigorous yet engaging activity, look no further than this Hero's Journey ESCAPE ROOM!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Hero's Journey Escape Room. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game!

How does it work?

Though your students have been learning about the 12 stages, 8 archetypes, and countless examples of the hero's journey through literature and film, it is time for them to become heroes themselves by escaping your classroom! In order to do this, they must work in small teams to solve 5 different puzzles related to the hero's journey, discovering a hidden message, and finding clues along the way.

• The 12 Stages: In the first task, students must match each stage of the hero's journey with its definition by drawing a line connecting them. These lines will intersect with letters that once unscrambled, will form their first code word.
• A Heroine's Journey: In the second task, students must correctly identify the 12 stages of the hero’s journey within The Wizard of Oz and place on a chart. When cards are assembled correctly, shaded boxes will reveal their second code.
• Guess Who: In the third task, students must play "Guess Who" by reading descriptions of 8 characters from popular hero's journey tales and identify which character archetype they represent. Letters within the correct answers will reveal their third code.
• Hero Worship: In the fourth task, students must perform a close reading of Amy Lowell's Hero-Worship. The letters of the multiple choice question answers about the poem will form the fourth code.
• Jig Saw Quote: In the fifth and final task, students must answer the final question, "What is the difference between a hero and an ordinary man?", by assembling a jig saw puzzle. Once assembled correctly, a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson will reveal the answer.

Product Includes:

- Escape Room Basics
