This “Escape from the Veldt” escape room will have your students analyzing the text for elements of the short story, such as foreshadowing, irony, characterization, figurative language, summarizing, mood, tone, and symbolism, all while having a lot of fun! Students should read the text BEFORE they do the escape room.

Each “station” is represented by an animal from the veldt that they must “escape” from. The answers to each puzzle will be recorded on their answer sheet. After they’ve escaped from each animal, there is one last puzzle they need to solve. Once they do, they’ve successfully escaped from the veldt!

This 32- page product includes everything you'll need: detailed directions for the teacher, animal signs for each station, the activities you'll place at each station, an answer sheet for the students, and an answer key for you! It also includes some ideas for making the experience especially memorable for your students.

The room took about 60 minutes for my students to complete from start to finish. They had a blast! It's a lot of fun, all while analyzing the story! I typically read this short story after reading Fahrenheit 451, but you could incorporate it into any short story unit!
