This activity features a rigorous yet engaging digital escape room in which students tackle 5 Language Arts skills-based puzzles about Thanksgiving! (for use with Google Drive)

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging activities that encourage students to think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! Now, you can facilitate our popular Thanksgiving ELA Escape Room at home or in the classroom using your school's technology with this resource. Each task is skills-based so that with this fun lesson on a highly-anticipated holiday and impending vacation, learning is not sacrificed. This escape room encourages higher order thinking skills and a fun review of ELA material with a Thanksgiving twist.

How does it work?

Your students are stuck in your digital classroom and cannot leave for Thanksgiving break until they solve 5 challenging Language Arts skills-based tasks about Thanksgiving!

• Thanksgiving Fun Facts: In the first task, students will read 8 fun facts about Thanksgiving and must identify the parts of speech of underlined words within the passages. When matched correctly, shaded boxes will reveal the first code.
• Word Maze: In the second task, students must solve a series of word mazes. Letters they collect along the way will form their second code.
• Figuratively Speaking: In the third task, students must identify the figurative language devices used in fun Thanksgiving sentences. Shaded boxes in the correct answers form the third code.
• Landing of the Pilgrims: In the fourth task, students must perform a close reading of Landing of the Pilgrims by Felicia Dorothea Hemans, a perfect poem to study on Thanksgiving. Letters of the multiple choice question answers following the poem reveal their fourth code.
• Encrypted Message: In the final task, students must solve an encrypted Thanksgiving message using the codes and clues from the first four tasks. Once they decipher the quote about Thanksgiving and bring it to you, they are free to escape to Thanksgiving break!

Product Includes:

- Instructions for how to access and share escape room and answer key through Google Drive
