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!

Halloween Accordion Foldable Book Activity:
This is the perfect Halloween activity/craftivity to keep your kids engaged before or on the holiday! Students color pre-made Halloween pictures, write about Halloween or draw their own Halloween pictures. Let them use their imagination and creativity. Several writing prompts or writing ideas are included. The best part is that you can create your own accordion book. Each page has 4 ghosts on it. You choose which pages you want to use! 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.

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!

I like to make multiple copies of each box or chain link design and let the students choose which design they want to work with.
Materials Needed:
Printer paper or cardstock
Scissors
Glue, tape or glue sticks
Crayons, markers or colored pencils
**For best results, print box designs on cardstock.
Please note that this is a basic box template and does not include written directions. I believe they are self explanatory. To be honest, I tried to put the directions into words and it made it sound much more difficult than it really is:) Kindly, do not leave poor feedback because directions are not included.
