Looking for a no prep and engaging winter activity that also reinforces order of operations skills? "The Elf and the Missin Key" Digital Escape Room will help your fifth graders practice this concept while having fun!

Based on the premise that the elf asks your help because he lost the key of the cabin where all the Christmas gifts are stocked, your students will explore four different locations full of activities, and hidden messages. After completing all the activities, they will enter responses to questions on a Google Form. If all responses are entered correctly, they will find the key!

Since this escape room is online (interactive pages) there is very little prep; just duplicate the student answer sheet, provide the link, and off they go! There are no locks to configure or clues to hide—everything you need is online. No Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams logins are necessary.
