Check out the Preview and Video Hook
They don’t read all the books… Just a “taste.”
There is a PDF file with step-by-step instructions, a link to incorporate a YouTube Video to HOOK your students into accepting a mission to help a store owner have his Grand Opening. It can only be solved by working through some book “tastings” and using teamwork. Opening the box, (no locks needed) leads them to escape the classroom to enjoy recess or a library break outside of the classroom. Ideas are included.
This escape room is NOT EDITABLE.
There are 4 Book Tastings using Fiction, Non-Fiction, Biographies, and Poetry Books of YOUR choice.
This is great for Read Across America or Literacy Week!
MATERIALS YOU NEED TO ADD: a box, some surprise to put in the box (homework passes and bookmarks are provided), pencils and food treat in the box, and plates. You can go elaborate and have a pizza store or fancy with silver platters and wear aprons.
