This activity features a meaningful and inclusive escape room in which students tackle 5 Language Arts skills-based puzzles about the winter holidays: Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, and Diwali!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Winter Holidays Escape Room for ELA. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. All tasks are Language Arts skills-based so that with this fun lesson, learning is not sacrificed. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game!

Where this lesson truly shines is its objective: to help students on their journey to becoming global citizens as they learn about the holidays of diverse cultures and religions around the world. Being more culturally aware has become increasingly important in a world that seems to be getting smaller as we get more connected. As we build relationships with people from other cultures and religions, it is necessary to have some perspective of where we are all coming from which ultimately helps us to acknowledge how much we have in common.

How does it work?

Your students are stuck in your classroom and cannot leave for vacation until they solve 5 challenging Language Arts skills-based tasks about Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali, and Christmas.

• Diwali Fun Facts: In the first task, students must read fun facts about Diwali, each demonstrating 1 of 6 comma rules. Students must match the fact with the comma rule. The code is revealed when cards are matched correctly.
• Hanukkah Lights: In the second task, students must perform a close reading of Hanukkah Lights by Philip M. Raskin (1880-1944) and answer multiple choice questions about the selection that when correct, reveal the code.
• Christmas 'Round the World: In the third task, students will read 8 fun facts about how Christmas is celebrated in different countries around the world and must identify the parts of speech of underlined words within the passages. When matched correctly, shaded boxes will reveal the third code.
• Kwanzaa Extravaganza: In the fourth task, students must correct commonly misspelled words a passage about the origins of Kwanzaa. Once complete, they must unscramble shaded boxes to reveal the fourth code.
• Pop Quiz: In the final task, students must use all that they have learned about Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali, and Christmas and fill out a crossword puzzle. Once complete, they must unscramble the circled letters to reveal their final code to escape!
