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 terrible room with the yellow wallpaper by solving 5 different skills-based puzzles, discovering codes, and finding clues along the way.

• Vocab Match Up: In the first task, students fill in the blanks with vocabulary words from the story.
• Figuratively Speaking: In the second task, students draw lines to match literary and poetic devices within the story to their definitions. (Devices covered: euphemism, metaphor, alliteration, onomatopoeia, personification, hyperbole, idiom, simile, repetition)
• Criss-Cross: In the third task, students must solve a crossword puzzle with questions about characters, literary elements, quotes, and plot events of the story.
• Quote Me On This: In the fourth task, students must fill in the blanks of notable quotes within the story.
• Jig Saw Quote: In the fifth and final task, students must complete a jig saw puzzle that reveals a quote that connects to a major theme in the tale. Once they figure it out and bring it to you, the students may escape from the room with the yellow wallpaper.
