This was a fun activity for my class. I was able to see who worked together well and who struggled with teamwork. The kids really enjoyed it and it was so easy to put together. I plan to use this at the start of next year as an ice breaker for my new class. (Originally shared on my TpT store.)

My students loved doing this escape room. It allows me to see how well my students work together while they try and solve each task. It also allows my students to get to know each other by having to answer the questions for each task. I would recommend this escape room for any teacher looking for a fun activity for the first weeks of school. (Originally shared on my TpT store.)
