When was the last time you saw students jumping up and down with joy after solving a problem? Bragging about it to their friends for weeks afterwards? With escape rooms in the classroom, I have witnessed this miracle! I will show you what my past escape rooms have looked like, the research behind why this works, and provide you with a starter template for making your own escape room to fit your standards.
The example escape room is for a math class setting, but the materials are applicable to all subject areas. They are recommended for secondary teachers; however, with some adjustments, they could be done in upper elementary. I also have examples of virtual escape rooms for a TUVA setting.
