Recycling ESCAPE ROOM - Perfect for Earth Day! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

(0)
The Recycle Escape Room will take students on a secret mission around the classroom! This escape room has students decode interesting facts about recycling. Students will learn about different types of products that can be recycled, how they are recycled and crazy recycling statistics! The Recycle Escape Room has students walking around the classroom breaking codes. The codes include ciphers, Morse code, cryptograms and a final 4 digit code based on the decoders/clues. Each clue and code is different. The codes require students to think differently to decipher or decode them. Some codes are easier than others. Some codes require critical thinking to determine what a letter/symbol stands for. Each code will reveal interesting facts about recycling. The use of secret code will keep your students engaged while competing to find the final code. Students can report the final code to you. If you wanted to, you could purchase a 4 digit lock that you program, but it is not necessary at all! No props needed!! There are no fancy shapes to cut out, and no silly envelopes to stuff! This is a NO PREP, PRINT & GO activity! Students practice hands-on, practical problem solving skills all while learning about recycling. Your students will be inspired to think outside the box! Spy themed music is highly recommended! The best age range for this resource is 8+. Please look at the preview to determine if this resource works for your age group. Younger students may need some help with some of the more difficult codes. You can use the pre-labeled clues or you can challenge older kids to choose/find the decoder that works for each of the clues. A set of labeled and non-labeled decoders are included for differentiation. A “How to Decode” puzzles is also included. In addition to learning or reinforcing the subject matter, my escape rooms encourage teamwork and critical thinking. As a “timed” challenge, students will be engaged from beginning to end. This escape room includes 12 fun, colorful signs to take class pictures with at the end of the mission. Signs include “Puzzle Master”, “She did all the work”, “Genius”, “We did it”, “I Escaped” and more! Hang the pictures in your room, send them in a parent newsletter or share them on social media. An answer key and easy to follow teacher directions are provided. Time needed: 30-60 minutes New Feature: I have included a 6 question formative to complete as proof of understanding. Each “clue” also has one question to answer to ensure comprehension for a total of 10 questions. Many times students rush to solve the puzzles without reading or comprehending what they read. The questions need to be answered correctly before they can win!

Growth Mindset Collaborative Poster! Team Work - Nowhere to go but UP

The Growth Mindset Quote Collaborative Block Poster can be used as a fun teambuilding activity to promote positive thinking. Students work together to piece their growth mindset “block” with their classmates. The result is a beautiful, fun, one of a kind pop-art to hang in the hall. “There’s nowhere to go but up” is such a powerful quote and daily reminder about team work for your students. A fun activity to instill a positive growth mindset. You can use the Growth Mindset Quote Block Poster as a bulletin board display, hang on the classroom wall, classroom door, hallway, school entrance, library, gym or any place you see fit. This poster will pop and students and teachers will stop to admire your work! This is the perfect Growth Mindset activity to promote persistence! I like to play music in the background while they are working and coloring. The Growth Mindset Quote Poster (There’s nowhere to go but up) is designed so that each student colors their own block/piece of the poster. When everyone is done, they have to work as a team to put the block poster puzzle back together. Each poster has an abstract background to make your poster “pop”. Collectively, your students CHOOSE the colors! Students will need color pencils, markers or crayons, tape and scissors. This activity is great because they can put a personal art twist on their own block. The included teacher and student directions are very simple to follow. The possibilities are endless with this activity! My favorite part is watching the kids work as a team to try to piece it back together. This is GREAT for community building and teamwork! Teachers should create a classroom that supports persistence, effort and even mistakes. Hanging the Positivity Poster is the perfect reminder for students. How you choose to set it up in your classroom is up to you  Each student colors one “block” or section of a large poster.  This product includes 25 “blocks” or pages to color. I do understand that some of you will have less than twenty five students, as do I. There are ALWAYS students that finish early that are eager to color a second page. I also like to sit down with my students and color a “block”. Print the file ONE time for each class on 8.5x11 paper! WHAT’S INCLUDED?  Teacher Directions Student Directions 25 different blocks to color (1 per student) Example of a final version of poster The final poster size is around 30”x 34”

OR you can allow your students to choose! Perfect for differentiation and different age levels. This is called a “Create Your Own” accordion book because you can choose which page you want to start your book, which page you want to end your book and even if you want to add a middle page. I like to print a few piles of each one and have students choose two- three pages, BUT one of them MUST have to do with writing. You do not have to tape sets together if you do not want. You may be happy with just one small accordion book with a set of 4 ghosts. The books may vary in length based on student grade level and ability. There are 26 different pages/designs, so there are so many possibilities! You will need: Scissors Tape (not glue sticks or glue) Colored pencils, markers or crayons Check out the preview to see all of the templates. They print horizontal on 8.5x11 paper.

Halloween Around the World Escape Room! Halloween-like traditions

(0)
The Halloween Around the World Escape Room will take students on a secret mission around the classroom! This escape room has students decode interesting facts about Halloween traditions and celebrations around the world. The Halloween Around the World Escape Room has students walking around the classroom breaking codes. The codes include ciphers, Morse code, cryptograms and a final 4 digit code based on the decoders/clues. This product cover the Halloween-like traditions of: Cambodia, United States, Italy, India, Japan, China, Romania, Philippines, Mexico and Germany. Each clue and code is different. The codes require students to think differently to decipher or decode them. Some codes are easier than others. Some codes require critical thinking and deductive reasoning to determine what a letter/symbol stands for. Each code will reveal interesting facts about Halloween Around the World. The use of secret code will keep your students engaged while competing to find the final code. Students can report the final code to you. If you wanted to, you could purchase a 4 digit lock that you program, but it is not necessary at all! No props needed!! This is a NO PREP, PRINT & GO Activity! Students practice hands-on, practical problem solving skills all while learning about Halloween Around the World. Your students will be inspired to think outside the box! Spy themed music is highly recommended! The best age range for this resource is 8+. Please look at the preview to determine if this resource works for your age group. Younger students may need some help with some of the more difficult codes. You can use the pre-labeled clues or you can challenge older kids to choose/find the decoder that works for each of the clues. A set of labeled and non-labeled decoders are included for differentiation. A “How to Decode” puzzles is also included. In addition to learning or reinforcing the subject matter, my escape rooms encourage teamwork and critical thinking. As a “timed” challenge, students will be engaged from beginning to end. This escape room includes 12 fun, colorful signs to take class pictures with at the end of the mission. Signs include “Puzzle Master”, “She did all the work”, “Genius”, “We did it”, “I Escaped” and more! Hang the pictures in your room, send them in a parent newsletter or share them on social media J An answer key and easy to follow teacher directions are provided. Time needed: 30-60 minutes New Feature: I have included a 6 question formative to complete as proof of understanding. Each “clue” also has one question to answer to ensure comprehension for a total of 10 questions. Many times students rush to solve the puzzles without reading or comprehending what they read. The questions need to be answered correctly before they can win!
