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.

Iroquois & Algonquian Native American Scavenger Hunt (No Prep!)

- 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.
This resource begins by challenging students with a mission, act as a treasure hunter to find the Moonstone Treasure from the attached fictional Iroquois folklore. 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 found the Moonstone!
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!

New York State Geography Escape Room (No Prep!)
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
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.

Navigate the path of diplomatic assertiveness with our meticulously crafted printable Unit Four and guided reading reading journey on the significant role of the Roosevelt Corollary in US History.
Beyond a mere addition to the Monroe Doctrine, this policy, articulated by President Theodore Roosevelt, asserted the United States' right to intervene in the affairs of Latin American nations to stabilize their economic affairs.

- Interventions and Implications: Understand the various instances where the Roosevelt Corollary was invoked, from interventions in the Dominican Republic to Nicaragua, and the broader implications for US-Latin American relations.
