Back to School Grammar Digital Escape Room for Distance Learning

By Language Arts Excellence

Whether you are starting school in the classroom or teaching virtually, start your year off strong with the Back to School Grammar Digital Escape Room for use with Google Drive!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! Now, you can facilitate our Back to School Grammar Escape Room at home for distance learning or in the classroom using your school's technology (thereby cutting down on paper and valuable prep time) with this meticulously-crafted resource. Each task is skills-based so that with this fun activity, learning is not sacrificed. Distance learning can certainly be a struggle for both students and teachers, so this escape room aims to provide a welcome break from the monotony while encouraging higher order thinking skills and a fun review of English grammar.

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 students earn the missing comma to save Grandpa!

Product Includes:

- Instructions for how to access and share escape room and answer key through Google Drive

- Materials for 5 Tasks: digital task signs, detailed task instructions, and digital worksheets

- Digital Student Answer Booklet

- Digital Teacher Answer Key

This Pop Culture Bundle for High School will make your students WANT to work and stay on task as they read about high-interest trending topics among teens.

You'll get stand-alone resources that are designed to offer a print-and-go sub-plan solution for ELA teachers who don't have time to prep their lessons. These lesson sets will definitely engage even the most reluctant readers, while challenging your more advanced ones.

Students read an original pop culture article and you get lessons that include both reading comprehension and writing. Two fun puzzles are also included, as well as a design page that allows students to get creative and offers differentiation. There's a little bit of everything!

The estimated Lexile measure of these sets range from 900 to 1200.

► I made these creative activities because I needed fun independent work that I could use in my classroom that I knew students would actually LIKE doing!

► Simply print and go! These packets can be used in a multitude of ways! Keep them on hand to use later!

►There is truly no preparation needed, which is why these sets are perfect to leave for:

fun lessons
early finishers
after testing
group work
sub plans
bell ringers
homework
test prep
review
assessment

HOW TO USE THESE SETS...

Students can complete all six worksheets of each set as part of a sub packet, but if you don't see them for a full block then assign only one page each day you're out (you'll get even more bang for your buck!) This packet has so many uses beyond sub work - use it any time of year for a no-prep, yet FUN learning activity that kids will enjoy doing! All answer keys are included!
