This one was actually requested by some of my students that love these events so much! They wanted one more Quest before school is out- so, of course, I had to invent one. The kids work together to solve all the tasks and open the locks to “escape”. It was quite fun.īut for elementary kids, let’s not lock them in a real room! My Escape Rooms are puzzles, riddles, tasks, and solving problems to open locked boxes. They actually lock you in a room and you have to find all the clues to open doors and eventually open the door to get out. Okay, let’s be honest! Is there really a room involved? No! I actually have attended a “Break Out/Escape Room” event. Instructions for this are included in the resource! If you do not use a locked box, then you do not need to print the box labels, so that is one less thing to copy, laminate, and cut out! End of the Year Escape Room You do not have to purchase boxes or locks. But, YOU don’t have to! You can have kids solve the puzzles and fill in a ‘paper lock code’, present that code to you, and they receive the next task. Ok, first of all, I use locked boxes with my Escape Rooms- because kids love them. I have included a list at the end for the things you have to copy and prepare! How can it be done easily? This one is different from the other Escape Rooms I have created. That does not sound much like setting up an Escape Room activity, does it? But, I promise this one can be set up quickly and easily. What exactly is that? To me, it means printing and making some copies and being able to hand that right to the kids. This will not create extra costs for you at all! It will help me keep this blog running! This means that Amazon will pass on small percentages to me with your purchase of items. In this post, for your convenience, you may find Amazon Affiliate links to resources. Well, what if I have an engaging activity that will keep your kids busy AND it requires minimal prep from you? Hmmm…sounds good! Seriously, the last thing you need is a project, right? We have end-of-year tests, scrapbooks to finish, last minute lessons, field day, awards to prepare, and countless other things (not to mention taking down decor and packing up for the summer.) There is so much to do in a classroom by the time those May days arrive. I know we all have a secret countdown for the days that are left, but I also know this for sure- It is panic-time when mid-May hits. And suddenly it was May! How does this happen? I mean, one minute we are coming back from Christmas Break and then it’s March, and you blink and it’s May!
