By Jason Litt
Looking for a fun, exciting, challenging, and engaging way to reach students in your upper elementary or lower middle school grades? Try this all-inclusive lesson that will get your kids racing against the clock and each other with The Great Escape!
In “THE GREAT ESCAPE”, students will be given a specific amount of time to perform tasks successfully (as designed by the teacher). Each one of these tasks is a musical task and the theme for this escape room are rhythms.
There are five rooms, and in each room are several "tasks" students will have to perform (either individually, as a class, A vs B, side by side, or however you wish). As soon as the task is completed, advance the slide for the correct answer (the teacher will control the game).
After a certain number of tasks, a key will be issued to exit the room and head into another room with a different set of tasks.
The five rooms and tasks are as follows:
If students complete all tasks and open the door to all five rooms they win the game!
You can play this one of four ways
If you would like music to accompany this to make it a bit more engaging, try using this in the background:
