Did you have such a fun or relaxing time over winter break that you forgot to plan your lesson for the first day back in the classroom? Have no fear, we're here to save you with our New Year's ESCAPE ROOM for ELA!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length New Year's-themed Escape Room. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. All tasks are Language Arts skills-based so that with this fun lesson on your first day back from Christmas vacation, learning is not sacrificed. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game!

How does it work?

Your students must face their first major challenge of the new year and are stuck in your classroom until they solve 5 challenging Language Arts skills-based tasks about New Year's!

• In the first task, students will read 8 fun facts about how people celebrate New Year's around the world. In each passage, one word is spelled incorrectly. Students must identify the incorrectly spelled word and write the word with the correct spelling in their answer sheet. Shaded boxes within the answers reveal the first code.
• In the second task, students will read 8 New Year's resolutions from their favorite celebrities and sports stars. They must identify the parts of speech of underlined words within each quote. When parts of speech cards are matched correctly with the resolutions, shaded boxes reveal their second code.
• In the third task, students must solve a word maze. Letters collected along the way, once unscrambled, reveal their third code.
• In the fourth task, students must perform a close reading of Burning the Old Year by Naomi Shihab Nye, a perfect poem to study on the New Year. Letters of the multiple choice question answers following the poem reveal their fourth code.
• In the final task, students must assemble a jig saw puzzle that forms a quote about New Year's. Once the puzzle is assembled and students bring the quote to you, they may escape the room and start the new year off on a strong note!
