World War 1 Digital Escape Room
By Frenchified
Make learning about World War 1 interesting with this no-prep digital escape game. The game includes access to a website where your students will hunt for the keys to unlock a set of locks. Students will need to read the clues very carefully and watch videos, visit websites, and read texts to find the information they need to win the game. Very easy to use - just send your students to the website and let them work! Students can play individually or in teams.
Your great-grandfather has left you a medal from his time during the great war but you can't open the box it is in without figuring out the codes to several locks. Learn about World War 1 and open the locks to obtain the medal in this World War 1 digital escape game. This is a challenging activity that students will need to work together and think critically in order to complete.
Digital escape games are a fun way to start a unit, or to review at the end of a unit. They can also be used to learn about a cultural or historical event. This game will have your students reading carefully and paying attention to the smallest details in order to complete the challenge and unlock the locks.
This item includes:
Your students will enjoy learning without even realizing that they are learning! The challenging game format will get them excited about finding the code to unlock each lock - and the format of the clues for each lock will have them paying close attention - there's no way to solve the puzzles without being 100% focused!
Topics in this game include:
Prep is very easy - you just need to share the website URL with your students. You may want to test the site before you use it, just to make sure nothing is blocked by your district. As some of the clues can be challenging to unlock, you may choose to help your students with the trickier ones. With the teacher guide, you will have the answer key - so you can help guide students towards the correct answer by giving them hints, or if you have limited time, you can adjust the game by reducing the number of locks they need to unlock - just give them the answer(s) to help the activity fit your time constraints.

Europe Geography — The 15 Most Influential People in European History
By Geography & Math Made Easy
OBJECTIVE:
o Students will become familiar with influential people in European history.
o Students will explore the cause and effects of the identified individuals on Europe.
o Students will, as a group, present their findings to the class on each individual assigned character.
o Students will evaluate and determine which 15 characters were the most influential in European history.
MATERIALS:
o Character cards, scissors, and laminate.
o 5 Influential Individuals of Europe Activity Sheet
o Classroom board and painting tape
o Document camera/projector
o Human European Bingo Game
o Bingo pieces.
PREPARATION:
o Laminate and cut out the character cards so they can be used again, from one year to the next. This will also avoid the cards getting torn when placed on the board at the end of the lesson during the presentations.
o Reproduce the 5 Influential Individuals of Europe, one per student.
o On the board create two columns: Highly Influential and the other Influential.
INTRODUCTION: (20 MINUTES)
Play Human European Bingo. Give each student a bingo card. Allow students 10 minutes to move around the room gathering names of people who are somehow related to Europe, present or past from their classmates. Once their sheet is filled with one name per box, the student will return to his/her seat. Begin with the nearest person and allow him or her to name an individual. Anyone in the room who has that name can place a dauber/coin on that square. The game is played until someone calls European Bingo! If time allows, you may play again. This game will get student warmed up and thinking about those individuals who influenced Europe. If students seem, unknowledgeable and unfamiliar with the topic, allow them to access resources—books, Internet, etc.— during the game.
PROCEDURE: (30-40 MINUTES)
Place the character cards in a bag. Pass the bag around the room, allowing each group to choose five cards from the bag. Students will work in groups to find out as much as they can about the influences each individual had/has on Europe. Students will fill in the 5 Influential Individuals of Europe Activity Sheet.
CLOSURE / EVALUATION: (20 minutes)
Have students present their findings. Set up the document camera/projector. Students will place their character card on the camera/projector so the audience can have a visual of the individual they are talking about.
Students will, within their groups, present their findings. On the board there will be two columns: Highly Influential and Influential. Once students have presented their findings and opinions, they will place the card on the board, using painter’s tape (comes off more easily), under one of the columns; Highly influential or Influential.
ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY: (20 minutes)
The class will work together to determine which names listed under the 15 Most Influential will remain. These are the individuals they will be tested on.
This will allow students to have choices within their studies gives students autonomy of their learning.

Ancient Greece Scavenger Hunt (No Prep!)
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that analyzes ancient Greece in regard to their culture, government and Alexander the Great which is studied in the 6th grade curriculum under the following standards:
This resource begins by challenging students with a mission, act as Alexander the Great and conquer new lands across Africa, Europe, and Asia, just as Alexander did over 2,000 years ago; failure will result in them "perishing", unable to overcome the rugged terrain and powerful enemies that stand in your way. 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 successfully conquered new lands over various continents!
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!
