[IMPORTANT NOTE: Some districts block students from accessing links from outside users. If this is the case at your school, your students will likely receive a permissions error from Google Drive when trying to access the escape room challenges. Please check students’ settings before purchasing. If this is the case, I have a few possible trouble shooting options that may work. They are included in the Teacher Directions or you may email me at [email protected]]

Reasons why I LOVE using Escape Challenges with my students:

• They are academically rigorous and challenging
• They are an engaging way to review content skills and/or strategies
• They reinforce social skills, such as teamwork, collaboration, respect
• Students learn to manage time appropriately and focus under pressure
• They gamify learning in a meaningful way
• They encourage independence and risk taking
• They require students to problem solve and think critically
