This was just what I needed to help cover the road to the American Revolution with my students. I was able to digitalize everything and with the use of Google Forms, create a digital escape room. It was great and well received by the students!
Teaching at the Summit –
Great to use to cover the social studies we didn’t get to before the end of the year!

After completing our study of the American Revolution, Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution, it was great to have a fun day when students go to move around and compete against each other by competing the Escape Room activites.

LOVE Escape room lessons! The students get to move around the room and explore the lesson material instead of sitting and taking BORING notes…these are a GREAT way to both assess and engage students in the material. Nice Work!
