A Little Teacher Tip…
Try splitting your class into small teams and giving each one a set of clues. Set a timer, play some suspenseful music, and let the problem-solving begin! This setup works beautifully for observations or fun Fridays.
Whether you’re a fan of escape rooms yourself or just want to bring something fresh into your classroom, this bundle is an engaging way to reinforce key skills and create memorable learning moments.
