6th Grade Social Studies Beginning of the Year Escape Room: Back to School

By Colleen Burdette

Engaging Back to School Activity:

Students will be complete an engaging introduction to sixth grade Social Studies standards. They can work with a partner, a team, or by themselves to answer questions focused on four social studies topics: history, civics & government, geography, and economics.

Students can work at their own pace as teachers have topic labels which can be displayed throughout the classroom to show students where to find their next challenge.

When the challenge is complete, students can complete follow up questions to review the Back to School, Beginning of the Year Escape Room. These could be used as written assignments or to lead class discussion.

Aligns with Indiana Social Studies Standards: 6.H.1, 6.H.5, 6.H.7, 6.H.11, 6.C.1, 6.C.2, 6.C.3, 6.C.4, 6.C.5, 6.G.1, 6.E.1, 6.E.2, 6.E.3.

By Professional Development and Teacher Prep

Are you a passionate educator looking for innovative ways to create a positive, engaging learning environment? Enhance your classroom management and build a culture of respect and academic excellence with The Essential 55 by Ron Clark. This transformative book will revolutionize your approach to classroom behavior and help foster a thriving learning environment.
As a companion to the book—and perhaps the workbook—this resource offers editable Canva slides that can be used with students, parents, and even shared on your school’s social media. It's a powerful tool to extend the impact of The Essential 55 across your entire school community.

How It Works:

Focus on one rule each day, following the sequential order of Ron Clark’s 55 rules.
Use the slides in various ways: print them to send home to parents weekly, display them in your classroom as a guide, or share them on your school or classroom’s social media page to keep families engaged.
You can also project the slides on your smartboard to teach, model, and reinforce each rule in your classroom every week.

Each slide features one of Ron Clark’s essential rules alongside a relevant image, helping to visually reinforce the concept. The slides are fully editable, allowing you to customize them to fit your school’s specific needs. You can even swap out the default images with pictures of your own students demonstrating the rule in action.

This resource is designed to be flexible and adaptable, making it easy to integrate The Essential 55 into your classroom or school culture. Whether you're looking to involve parents, enhance classroom discussions, or share the rules across your school’s social platforms, these slides offer a seamless way to keep the rules front and center.

How can you use these task cards?

⭐Have the task cards available in makerspaces, centers, tubs, busy boxes, morning baskets, as a reward, or available for early finishers to complete using ANY available materials. Students can even draw their creations instead of building them!

⭐Use one card or slide a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet or slide, and discuss as a class.

⭐Use them for public speaking practice. Allow students to build and then show and tell with the class or their parents. They can discuss what they made, liked, what they would improve, and how it solved the problem on the task cards.

Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but that also force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when completing these challenges.

It ensures active participation, leading to better retention and application of new skills and strategies.

Engaging Stations Professional Development (Canva Copy Link)

As educators, we shifted away from incorporating hands-on resources in the classroom during the onset of COVID-19. Utilizing hands-on materials provides students with a tactile and experiential approach, offering a tangible way for learners to connect with abstract concepts and enhance understanding. Through hands-on engagement, such as manipulating objects or participating in interactive activities, students can more readily comprehend intricate ideas and improve information retention. It's now opportune to revisit and rediscover the hands-on resources available for classroom use or those that may have been overlooked.

Ron Clark 55 Essential Rules Slides (Canva Copy Link)

The daily focus is on one rule at a time, spanning from Rule 1 to Rule 55. You have the option to print a weekly slide to share with parents or use it as a classroom guide. Additionally, you can download the slide as an image for social media sharing or use it on your smartboard for teaching and modeling each week's rule. Each slide features the corresponding Ron Clark rule accompanied by a relevant picture. The editable slides allow customization to align with your school's preferences, including the option to replace pictures with images of your students exemplifying the rule.

Engaging Top Chef Professional Development Template (Canva Copy Link)

This Canva Template Presentation revolves around the "Top Chef" theme, featuring a teach-off challenge for teachers to showcase their expertise in the focused teaching strategy or best practice emphasized in the professional development. Within a specified time frame, teachers will research the topic, create presentations, and present in front of judges, fostering a dynamic and collaborative learning environment. Similar to the show "Top Chef," this format encourages teachers to learn from each other, gaining insights into diverse strategies for classroom implementation.

Number Sense Professional Development Template (Canva Copy Link)

************************************************************

How can you use these task cards?

Have the task cards available in makerspaces, centers, tubs, busy boxes, morning baskets, or available for early finishers to complete using ANY available materials. Students can even draw their creations instead of building them!
Use one card a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet or discuss and use the Google Slides as a class.
Use them for public speaking practice. Allow students to build and then show and tell with the class or their parents. They can discuss what they made, liked, what they would improve, and how it solved the problem on the task cards. They can practice speaking and listening skills, using loud and clear voices, and giving full attention to the speaker. Encourage students to ask questions to their classmates.
Ideally the goal is to do one challenge a day, but you could certainly allow students to do more than one.

**********************************************************

Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but also that force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when building these challenges.

Most building challenge task cards are independent from each other. “Build a boat,” or “build an airplane,” are common themes among the cards. While those are fantastic, and we have done many of them ourselves, I wanted to do something different and more cohesive and engaging for kids.

The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!

**Please note that while the intent is for these to be independent, early readers may need some assistance in reading the cards.**

**This is not an editable document.**
