US History - the US Civil War high school Digital Escape Room

By Frenchified

Make learning about the US Civil War 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.

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:

  • Access to a website where your students can play the game
  • Complete teacher's guide to playing the game
  • Answer key so you can help students if they get stuck!

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!

The included topics are:

  • The Battle of Gettysburg
  • The Gettysburg address
  • Robert E Lee
  • The Emancipation Proclamation
  • Facts & figures about the war

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.

Student Awards: Let the Class be the Judge!

By Inspired By MlG

In this interactive event, students become the judges! They are given the power to select and nominate their fellow classmates for various awards. Whether it's "Who is likely to be Famous," or "Who is most likely to be a Comedian," the choices are endless!

This ceremony adds an extra element of excitement as students anticipate the unveiling of the winners. Through this process, they learn the importance of acknowledging their peers' in a fun way and the value of teamwork.

Our activity ensures that the ceremony is both entertaining and memorable. We provide beautifully designed certificates to honor each award recipient, making it a special keepsake to cherish for years to come.

Not only does this celebration encourage camaraderie and positive peer relationships, but it also motivates students to strive for success and personal growth. By involving students in the decision-making process, they feel a sense of empowerment and appreciation from their peers.

Includes a FREE blank Template to add your own Award title!
