Iroquois & Algonquian Escape Room with Close Reading Article (No Prep!)

By Miss Yous Clues and Resources

Looking for an exciting way to teach your students about the Iroquois and Algonquian tribes? This Iroquois and Algonquian Close Reading Escape Room is the perfect blend of social studies content, close reading, and gamified learning! In this activity, students will explore 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, (who the Iroquois and Algonquian tribes are, aspects of their daily lives, how they interacted with their environment, as well as similarities and differences between their cultures.). The article includes essential vocabulary like confederacy, longhouse, wigwam, and council, 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 Iroquois and Algonquian Native American tribes, 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 how Iroquois and Algonquian tribes interacted with the environment and developed unique cultures which is studied in the 4th grade curriculum under the following standards:

4.2 Native American groups, chiefly the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) and Algonquian-speaking groups, inhabited the region that became New York State. Native American Indians interacted with the environment and developed unique cultures.

4.2a Geographic factors often influenced locations of early settlements. People made use of the resources and the lands around them to meet their basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter.

  • Students will examine the locations of early Native American groups in relation to geographic features, noting how certain physical features are more likely to support settlement and larger populations.
  • Students will investigate how Native Americans such as the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) and the Algonquian-speaking peoples adapted to and modified their environment to meet their needs and wants.

4.2b Native American groups developed specific patterns of organization and governance to manage their societies.

Students will compare and contrast the patterns of organization and governance of Native American groups such as the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) and Lenape, including matrilineal clan structure, decision-making processes, and record keeping, with a focus on local Native American groups.

4.2c Each Native American group developed a unique way of life with a shared set of customs, beliefs, and values.

  • Students will examine Native American traditions; job specialization the roles of men, women, and children in their society; transportation systems; and technology.
  • Students will examine contributions of Native Americans that are evident today.

If you want a fun, engaging way to challenge your students, this Iroquois & Algonquian Escape Room is sure to captivate their attention while reinforcing key learning objectives.

Lewis and Clark Expedition Scavenger Hunt (No Prep!)

By Miss Yous Clues and Resources

Introduce your students to the thrilling journey of Lewis and Clark with this No-Prep Lewis and Clark Scavenger Hunt! This engaging and interactive activity puts students in the shoes of the Corps of Discovery as they navigate the vast, mysterious lands of the Louisiana Purchase.

In this activity, students become members of the historic Lewis and Clark expedition, commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the new territory purchased from France in 1803. Their mission: map the land, learn about the plants and animals, and create relationships with Native American tribes. But the journey is filled with challenges, including finding crucial information to help them survive and complete their mission. Each student, or group of students, will receive 10 reading task cards related to the Lewis and Clark expedition. These cards contain important historical information about key moments, people, and discoveries made during the expedition. The task is not only to read the cards but to solve 10 questions—the catch is that the answer to each question is found on a different card, encouraging students to read all the information thoroughly.

How It Works:

  • Students will need to determine the code word for each card by answering the fill-in-the-blank questions.
  • Once all the code words have been found, students must unscramble the letters from each code word to discover the final mystery word.
  • In addition, they will collect clues to uncover a 4-digit code, which will help them successfully complete their journey.

Failing to unscramble the mystery word or crack the 4-digit code will result in the expedition being a failure—just like if Lewis and Clark had never reached the Pacific Ocean. However, completing the mission means students will have successfully journeyed from St. Louis, across the uncharted land, and back again, bringing important discoveries to future generations!

What Makes This Activity Perfect for Your Classroom:

  • Engaging and Educational: Your students will be excited to play the role of an explorer while learning about one of America’s most important expeditions.
  • Critical Thinking Skills: By having to cross-reference information from multiple task cards, students practice comprehension, critical thinking, and attention to detail.
  • No-Prep Needed: Simply print the task cards and hand them out to your students! It’s ready to go with minimal prep.
  • Flexible Usage: This scavenger hunt can be used independently, as a group activity, or even as a fast-finisher task. It works perfectly as a history lesson, or as a fun, educational activity!

Ideal for Different Learning Styles

Whether done individually or in groups, this scavenger hunt provides the perfect opportunity for students to collaborate and share ideas as they solve the puzzles. If students are working independently, it gives them a chance to practice self-paced learning while still engaging with the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition in an interactive way.

Perfect for History Lessons or Fun Themed Activities This activity fits seamlessly into your classroom’s history curriculum. It’s a perfect way to introduce and reinforce learning about the Louisiana Purchase and the brave explorers who helped shape American history.

This Lewis and Clark Scavenger Hunt is not only a fun, no-prep classroom activity, but it also ensures that students gain a deeper understanding of history while developing important reading and comprehension skills. Bring the excitement of the Lewis and Clark expedition into your classroom with this adventure-packed scavenger hunt.

This resource begins by challenging students with a mission, act as an emperor in ancient China by completing tasks to govern the country, maintain unity and defend from northern invaders such as the Mongols; failure will result in the downfall of China. 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 #6. 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 successful governed China, maintained unity and defended any invasions!

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!
