Students love Escape Rooms and Easter. Combine them and it is a hit. Capture their imagination with this escape room and get the students excited for learning. A perfect way to celebrate Easter and Spring.
This Easter Escape Room can work for both individuals and groups. I typically print off the clues in color, laminate them for durability, and scatter them around the room. I place the students in groups of 2-4. The students work their way around the clues solving them and putting the answers on the students page (which I double side, as it has the story on one side and a space for the answers on the other). When they have finished they check back in with the teacher to confirm if they are correct. I typically give them an Easter Egg at this stage (but that is up to you).
The Story:
You have turned up at school and your lovely teacher has bought an Easter egg each for the whole class!! The whole class cheers in anticipation of the chocolate goodness. As the teacher reaches into their basket they discover it is empty of Easter eggs . In its place is a safe which requires a numbered code to open. Next to the safe are 10 clues. Solve the clues to reveal the code so that you can discover what is in the safe.
The Puzzles:
Puzzle 1: A grid logic puzzle
Puzzle 2: A cryptogram
Puzzle 3: 4 digit addition and subtraction problems
Puzzle 4: Following Directions
Puzzle 5: Reading charts and graphs
Puzzle 6: Multiple single digit addition and subtraction
Puzzle 7: Hundreds Board with multiples, addition and subtraction
Puzzle 8: Algebra Puzzle
Puzzle 9: Addition hexagon
Puzzle 10: Addition circles
