Escape rooms are so much fun and engaging! I love watching the students work hard to figure out each clue and overcome obstacles as they learn to collaborate together. What a fun way to learn history! Thank you so much for creating this resource!

Excellent resource! Students work well together in groups of two and enjoy the different puzzles. Using the same format allows students to understand what to do with minimal direction. I really like the added questions which ensure students are focused and reading.

An extremely fun way to learn about the early documents that helped form our government. I created a graphic organizer that the students use along with this activity to make sure they get all the information they should. The students really enjoy working out the puzzles.
