Escape Room Activities

If you were able to share the Halloween Escape Room activities I shared last week via email, I am guessing you were pleasantly surprised at the level of collaboration and problem solving your students exhibited. You might also be surprised to learn that it is relatively easy to create your own  Escape Room activities using simple tools like Google Sites and Google Forms. Check out the resources below to use some teacher-created Breakout activities or learn how to create your own!

Digital escape rooms, also referred to as digital breakouts, are a great way to bring gameplay and problem solving to any lesson or unit. They can be an exciting and engaging activity for the whole class or as an option for early finishers.

In a spin on the popular escape room challenge, a digital version combines:

• a virtual “room” (often a Google Site) filled with clues that must be figured out
• a digital lock made from an online form (usually a Google form) that students try to unlock
• any theme for the escape room that will engage your participants
• an appropriate level of difficulty (easy or extremely difficult) depending on the intended audience

This post is full of everything you'll need to use free digital escape rooms -- or even create your own!
