History of Halloween Traditions Escape Room

Engaging History Activity Before Halloween:
It is difficult to keep students engaged before a holiday and kids love Halloween. This escape room can have students focus their Halloween excitement to learn about the history of Halloween Traditions. They can work with a partner, a team, or by themselves to complete activities focused on five Halloween Tradition topics: Jack o' Lanterns, Trick or Treat, Halloween Candy, Halloween Costumes, and Haunted House. The Haunted House activity has two options: one which mentions decapitation and death masks, the other is not as macabre. Each activity contains topical information and student instructions.
Students will complete the following types of activities:
Teachers can choose to have students check their work after they finish each challenge in order to earn parts of a puzzle. Completed puzzles could be turned in for prizes. There is also a completed prize card provided.
Students can work at their own pace as teachers have topic labels which can be displayed throughout the classroom to show students where to find their next challenge.
When the challenge is complete, students can complete follow up questions to review the information they have learned about Halloween Traditions. The questions review what students have learned as well as having students make connections with prior their knowledge. These could be used as written assignments or to lead class discussion.

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:
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:
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.
