Get ready to have the most fun you'll have teaching with a lesson that your students will be talking about for years to come with O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi ESCAPE ROOM!

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 Escape Room for The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish.

All tasks are Language Arts skills-based so that with this fun lesson near a sugar-filled holiday, 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!

How does it work?

The ghost of O. Henry has returned from the grave and is upset because he believes that people nowadays care too much about getting expensive gifts at Christmas and no longer understand the true importance and wisdom of the magi. He has decided to destroy Christmas forever, unless your students can show their knowledge of the short story and in turn, recall the lessons that Jim and Della learned themselves not so long ago.

• Magi Trivia: In the first task, students must complete a crossword puzzle about major plot points, characters, setting, figurative language, and quotes from the story. Circled letters within the crossword, once unscrambled, reveal the code.
• Merry Vocabulary: In the second task, students must match the vocabulary words from The Gift of the Magi with their definitions by drawing a line connecting them. Letters not intersected by these lines will form their second code word. Clue cards using the words in context are included.
• Word Maze: In the third task, students must complete a word maze. Letters collected along the way form the third code.
• Off the Chart: In the fourth task, students must fill in a chart containing literary elements and questions about the short story. Shaded boxes next to the correct answers reveal the fourth code.
• Missing Word: In the final task, students must assemble a jig saw puzzle that forms a notable quote from the story with one missing word. Once the puzzle is assembled and students figure out the missing word, they may escape the room and save Christmas.
