Aztec, Inca & Maya Escape Room with Close Reading Article (No Prep!)
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
Looking for an exciting way to teach your students about soils and weathering? This Aztec, Inca & Maya Escape Room is the perfect blend of social studies content, close reading, and gamified learning! In this activity, students will explore all three of the civilizations through an engaging close reading article and four unique challenges.
Overview of the Activity: Students begin by reading a two-page informational passage that explains different aspects of each of the civilizations, (where they were located, when they flourished, achievements, etc.). The article includes essential vocabulary like terrace farming, irrigation, chinampas, aqueducts, astronomy and hieroglyphics, providing a solid foundation for students before they tackle the four interactive challenges.
Each challenge targets a different skill:
- Challenge 1: Matching vocabulary terms to their definitions (reinforcing social studies concepts).
- Challenge 2: True/false questions based on key facts from the reading (to build comprehension).
- Challenge 3: Multiple-choice questions (testing understanding of key concepts about the various civilizations).
- Challenge 4: Identifying the paragraph where certain information is found (developing close reading skills).
For each correct answer, students receive a clue—a one-digit number. After completing all four challenges, students use their numbers to solve a final puzzle and “escape” the room.
**Why Use Close Reading?:**Close reading is an instructional approach that encourages students to carefully analyze and interpret a text. In this escape room, students must return to the passage multiple times to find the answers to the questions, helping them:
- Improve their reading comprehension.
- Strengthen critical thinking skills.
- Become more independent readers who can tackle complex information.
Benefits of Gamified Learning: Using an escape room format transforms a traditional lesson into an adventure! Students love the thrill of solving puzzles, working together, and completing challenges, which boosts their engagement and motivation. Here’s why gamified learning is a hit in the classroom:
- Increases engagement: Students are naturally motivated by challenges and competition, making learning more interactive and exciting.
- Enhances problem-solving skills: Escape rooms require students to use logic and critical thinking to solve clues and progress through tasks.
- Encourages teamwork: As students collaborate, they practice communication and teamwork, skills essential for success in group settings.
**Perfect for Social Studies and Literacy Integration:**This escape room seamlessly integrates social studies content with reading comprehension, making it a powerful resource for interdisciplinary learning. While students strengthen their understanding of the Aztec, Inca, and Maya ancient civilizations, they’re also developing literacy skills by interpreting information, analyzing key details, and practicing vocabulary.
This is a escape room uses gamified challenges and is based on the Inca, Mayan & Aztec civilizations which is studied in the 5th grade curriculum under the following standards:
- 5.1 The first humans in the Western Hemisphere modified their physical environment as well as adapted to their environment. Their interactions with their environment led to various innovations and to the development of unique cultures.
- 5.1a Various forms of scientific evidence suggest that humans came to North America approximately 25,000 to 14,000 years ago and spread southward to South America.
- 5.1b Human populations that settled along rivers, in rainforests, along oceans, in deserts, on plains, in mountains, and in cold climates adapted to and made use of the resources and environment around them in developing distinct ways of life.
- 5.1c Early peoples living together in settlements developed shared cultures with customs, beliefs, values, and languages that give identity to the group. These early peoples also developed patterns of organization and governance to manage their societies.
If you want a fun, engaging way to challenge your students, this Aztec, Inca & Maya Escape Room is sure to captivate their attention while reinforcing key learning objectives.
Inca, Maya & Aztec Scavenger Hunt (No Prep!)
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that is based on the Inca, Mayan & Aztec civilizations which is studied in the 5th grade curriculum under the following standards:
- 5.1 The first humans in the Western Hemisphere modified their physical environment as well as adapted to their environment. Their interactions with their environment led to various innovations and to the development of unique cultures.
- 5.1a Various forms of scientific evidence suggest that humans came to North America approximately 25,000 to 14,000 years ago and spread southward to South America.
- 5.1b Human populations that settled along rivers, in rainforests, along oceans, in deserts, on plains, in mountains, and in cold climates adapted to and made use of the resources and environment around them in developing distinct ways of life.
- 5.1c Early peoples living together in settlements developed shared cultures with customs, beliefs, values, and languages that give identity to the group. These early peoples also developed patterns of organization and governance to manage their societies.
This resource begins by challenging students with a mission, complete the tasks to solve the mystery word and four digit code to collect ancient treasures lost in these civilizations. Check out the preview to see what each task card entails. Students will need to walk around the room reading the task cards. Each task card has a code word on the bottom which is the answer to the question/fill in the blank. The answer will NOT be found on that same task card. For example, the answer to task card #1 is found by reading the passage on task card #8. Students MUST record which task card they found the answer on in their answer sheet under the “FOUND CARDS #” column. That column will be used at the end for the 4 digit lock code. They will follow the clues to find the correct 4 digit code. Once they have completed the scavenger hunt they will receive a half sheet of paper stating that they have found and collected the treasures!
This activity would be a great review before assessments, as a center activity, a group activity, etc. Students will be engaged with the learning while having a fun time trying to solve all of the clues!

Siddhartha Gautama & the Birth of Buddhism Escape Room Activity
By Creative Primary Literacy
An Ancient India Escape Room activity about Siddhartha Gautama & the birth of Buddhism in the region. Ideal for fifth grade or sixth grade, the activity is perfect for group work, starting a new ancient history 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 Ancient India and the birth of Buddhism 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.
