Back to School Grammar Escape Room

By Language Arts Excellence

Get ready to have the most fun you'll have teaching grammar with a lesson that your students will be talking about all year with the Grammar 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 Grammar 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. All tasks are skills-based so that with the escape room, learning is not sacrificed. 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?

"Let's eat Grandpa!" Your students' challenge is to find the missing comma from this sentence to save Grandpa from becoming dinner. In order to do this, they must complete 5 grammar-based tasks, discover a hidden message, and find clues along the way.

  • Comma Drama: In the first task, students must identify comma rules used in 6 quotes about grammar. When matched correctly on a mat puzzle, shaded boxes reveal the first code.
  • Idiomadness: In the second task, students must complete a crossword puzzle for which each clue is an education idiom. Shaded boxes within the puzzle reveal the code.
  • Devil Cat: In the third task, students must closely read a passage about the Devil Cat that allegedly roams the basement of the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. and find the incorrect homophones within the article. Shaded letters within the answers form the third code.
  • R U Kidding Me?: In the fourth task, students read 8 funny (well, in a Dad joke kind of way) jokes about grammar. Students must determine the part of speech of the underlined word in each joke. Shaded boxes within the answers reveal the code.
  • Jig Saw Quote: In the final task, students must assemble a jig saw puzzle that forms a quote about grammar. Once the puzzle is assembled and students bring the quote to you, they obtain the missing comma to save Grandpa!

Product Includes:

- Escape Room Basics

- Detailed Day-Of Instructions

- Escape Room Print Checklist

- Student Teams Chart

- Giant Comma Sign

- Materials for 5 Tasks: task signs to be folded upright, task instructions (2 per page for easy printing), and necessary information to be kept at stations

- Student Answer Sheet

- Teacher Answer Keys

- Code Word Reflection Extension Activity

- Escape Room Reflection Extension Activity

This escape room is suitable for middle and high school students and is ideal at any time of the year when your students need a fun refresher on grammar!

Back to School Digital Escape Room (With Student Work Pages)

By Miss Yous Clues and Resources

This resource is a back to school digital escape room that has three rooms with 10 codes to decipher in each. Students will use a pigpen cipher, emoji code and letter wheel to solve 30 total coded words that are all school related. As students solve the codes, the picture of a lock next to the answer will automatically open. When all 10 coded words have been answered correctly, a key will pop up automatically at the bottom of that page. As students collect these keys, they will appear on the first Google Sheet Page labeled "Directions and Key Collection Page." When all three keys have been collected, a message saying "You Did It!" will appear on the Directions and Key Collection Page.

Students will navigate from room to room using the bottom tabs on the Google Sheets pages labeled:

-Directions and Key Collection Page

-Room 1

-Room 2
-Room 3

This is a fun, engaging activity to do in the first week or two of school as you are meeting new students, getting into the routines but need activities to fill the time before academics begin. Included in this is the digital escape room, directions/answer key and student work pages that can be printed if a separate page is needed with the ciphers or coded messages is needed.
