escape room

Escape rooms are all over the place now and more and more teachers are doing them in their classrooms. You can buy them created for you which I have tried, but didn't like them. They were either too easy or too hard and didn't align exactly how I wanted it to, so I made my own.

I did the escape room for our STAAR Camp while some of our students were re-taking their Math and Reading STAAR tests and it was a huge hit! The kids loved it and were fooled into really drilling down on a lot of STAAR practice questions. Since the first time I did our STAAR test escape room, I have created one for the First Days of School and our Reform Movement review.

Materials

Sorry, I couldn't get these to turn the right way. I think you get the idea just be seeing what it looks like with the lights out and the UV light on it. This is where kids (and adults) eyes light up and they get truly engaged.
