I needed something fast because I had to cover another teacher’s class the day before Thanksgiving break. This was perfect, they really enjoyed it.

Fun activity shared during our Thanksgiving holiday with family. All ages enjoyed!
Heather B. –
Super easy to set-up and go. The kids appreciated that it was digital and they didn’t have to come to me for any answers or deal with locks not working. It was great watching them try to work as a team, but still have learning happening. Escape rooms are a teacher’s secret weapon to classroom cooperation.

I found this resource just in time. My students enjoyed the challenge of the scavenger hunt. We learned a few new things, too! BONUS!!
Tabatha Clark –
Great resource; just ran out of time to use it before break started
Tracye Smith –
This was fairly hard. I had the students use their chromebooks to google the random facts, which they handled fairly well. The wordsearch was probably the hardest part of the sheet. My higher students found it engaging, but some of my lower students reached frustration. It was still a worthwhile activity for those last few days before Thanksgiving break.
Cara B. –
I used this as a time filler when students finished their classwork. The kids enjoyed working on this in groups and seeing who could finish the paper first. Thank you!
Margaret A. –
This one was a really tough challenge for my 6th/7th grade students. They really enjoyed the challenge and it pushed them to think and use logic to answer some of the questions.
Jill W. –
Yes! This was great– nice variety of skills to review, and very interesting. I used it with 5th graders but I think it can go to younger levels too. Thanks!
