Teaching History Today –
I just used the Constitution Escape Room yesterday and my students and I LOVED it! I teach 4 sections of 5th grade, and each group had fun and they were all equally challenged. I was nervous about doing this because I haven’t ever done an escape room before. When she said “just print and go” she meant it. It was super easy! I laminated my clues and made copies for students and that was it. I also played some spy music in the background which the classes all loved, too!! Such a great resource! I plan on using the Underground Railroad one towards the end of the year when we study the Civil War. Thank you for such great and fun resources!!
