Looking for an exciting way to teach your students about soils and weathering? This New York State Escape Room is the perfect blend of social studies content, close reading, and gamified learning! In this activity, students will explore the geography of New York State including cities, landmarks, and state/country/body of water borders through an engaging close reading article and four unique challenges.

Overview of the Activity: Students begin by reading a two-page informational passage about New York state geography, borders, cities, important landmarks within the state, etc.. The article includes essential vocabulary like state, city, lake, country, border, river and mountain, 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).
• 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 New York State geography, they’re also developing literacy skills by interpreting information, analyzing key details, and practicing vocabulary.

Whether you’re teaching about New York states borders, geography within the state itself, or just looking for a fun, engaging way to challenge your students, this New York State Escape Room is sure to captivate their attention while reinforcing key learning objectives.

This 5 themes of geography activity will make learning fun with this engaging, hands-on task card escape room. This activity includes 16 task cards that are broken down into 4 levels or puzzle types, giving students a chance to practice nonfiction reading comprehension skills while actively decoding puzzles.

Lead your students to discover information about the 5 themes of geography by exploring it on their own before teaching or have them use it to review information. Students will answer questions that can be found directly in their reading passage, so there is no prior knowledge needed.

Here's what you'll get:

• two-page reading comprehension passage
• 16 task cards
• student recording sheet
• 4 decoder puzzles
• teacher directions, prep tips and FAQs
• puzzle decoder hints
• answer key

Students will revisit the nonfiction text multiple times, practicing reading comprehension and critical thinking skills as they rotate around the room decoding puzzles. They can work in pairs or individually in a race to complete the 16 questions. This friendly competition is sure to increase engagement!

Prep is quick and easy... NO LOCKS, FANCY ENVELOPES, or HIDING OF CLUES NEEDED! Just print the recording sheets and reading passage, cut and spread out the 16 task cards and decoder puzzles, and let students get to work!

**Get your students moving through the United States while learning geography and math skills. **Students will move through the United States as they travel through seven destinations of their choice. This activity integrates math and geography, featuring map reading and measurement using a map scale. It includes calculations for gas costs, driving times, mileage, and more.

This resource encourages students to **problem-solve **while accurately using a map scale to plan a round trip across the United States. As students calculate distances, mileage, driving times, and gas expenses, they will develop higher-order thinking skills with real-life application.

This engaging activity empowers students to take ownership of their learning. Additionally, the instructions offer helpful tips on using yarn to teach how to measure distances on a road map. Students will learn how travel was done before GPS. Although we rely on GPS systems to get us from Point A to Point B, it is still important to know in today's digital age.

While GPS navigation systems and online mapping tools have made it easier to find our way around, having a good grasp of map scales can still come in handy. By using a map scale, students can accurately calculate distances on maps and understand the relationship between the physical size of the area being represented and its distance on the map. This skill can be useful for planning road trips, hiking excursions, or even understanding the layout of a city. Additionally, knowing how to read a map scale can help students develop spatial awareness and improve their overall geographical knowledge. So, while technology may make navigation more convenient, learning how to use a map scale is still a valuable skill that will never go out of style.

This activity incorporates math with geography:

• Measurement
• Gas Cost Calculations
• Driving Time Calculations
• Mileage Calculations &
• Map Reading

This lesson will require each team has a large laminated road map that can be purchased through or donated by your local stores, such as Walmart or Target.

If you have a way to make poster-sized maps, you can google the road maps of America and there are many that can be found.
