What does an escape room look like for primary students?

You will have to spend about 30 minutes to prep your materials. Students will be separated into two groups. First, students watch the YouTube video as a hook. Then, students are handed a mystery envelope with a clue. The clue might have them find letters to build sentences, solve puzzles, or solve a riddle, for example. Each time they complete a challenge, they get another mystery envelope or clue. Eventually, they will discover keys that will open a box. (The keys are paper. The box can be an old paper box filled with a treat or homework passes that you will open together once each group has their key.) Once the box is open, the student can escape the room to recess or the library. Certificates are provided for students who are Master Mystery Problem Solvers. The activity takes about 45 minutes to complete.

(NO LOCKS OR FANCY TREASURE BOXES necessary)
