My classes have thoroughly enjoyed completing these escape rooms at the end of our units of study in World Geography. A very fun way to sum up our learning!
Lindsey V. –
Lots of directions for students, just what I needed
Sharon C. –
Thank you for creating these rigorous materials—they make planning easier and more enjoyable for both me and my students.
Melissa Preston –
My students enjoy these escape rooms! I use them as an introduction activity for each unit as we begin to study.
Alisha B. –
My students have LOVED doing these continent escape rooms. It has been engaging and fun for them to learn about each of the continents. I do have to remind them to read each of the clues before rushing to unlock the the secret codes – that is definitely the favorite part of the lesson. Great ways to review and give an overview of the continent.
WellSoul Classroom –
Great resource! My students really engaged with the materials!
Dorothy H. –
All of my students were fully engaged and loving this activity. They were able to move around and loved the change of pace. They collaborated with a partner to solve the puzzles and added to their knowledge of the continents. Highly recommended!

I used this as a fun way to end class periods during a week-long geography review at the beginning of Global History 2. My students were a little older than the intended age, but they still found it engaging. The resource prints very nicely and is easy to follow. VERY pleased with this purchase!! Thank you!

Excellent resource!

After an intense year of all Virginia Studies, it is so nice to teach less intense topics. The students are able to focus on geography with a fun activity as a review. This resource was the perfect cumulating activity to our three week study of North American. I like how students can spread out and don’t have to work in a strict order to complete the activity. COVID rules make things we previously took for granted so much more difficult. Thanks for a fun activity and I like the victory signs at the end of the resource.
