A Sound of Thunder Escape Room

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 Ray Bradbury's A Sound of Thunder 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 A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task (and it is!), 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. 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?

In this escape room, students will try to escape from the past (60 million years ago to be exact) by solving 5 different skills-based puzzles, discovering codes, and finding clues along the way.

  • Daggers, Toys, & Locomotives: In the first task, students complete the similes within A Sound of Thunder.
  • 5 Senses: In the second task, students draw lines to match sensory details within the story to the type of sensory detail they represent.
  • The Plot Thickens: In the third task, students must order the plot events of A Sound of Thunder on Freytag's Pyramid.
  • Criss-Cross: In the fourth task, students solve a crossword puzzle with questions about literary elements, quotes, and plot details within the story.
  • Jig Saw Quote: In the fifth and final task, students must complete a jig saw puzzle that reveals a quote from Chief Seattle that connects to a major theme within the tale. Once they figure it out and bring it to you, students escape from the past!
