All questions found in this product are aligned with the Legislative Branch ESCAPE ROOM! Of course, you do not need to purchase the resource to use the task cards, however, it would be helpful to know that all of the answers can be found in the reading passages of the escape room. This way you ensure the students had access to the information.

What a great resource. The students have really enjoyed this activity over the years. I work in an online setting, so we use it as an escape room with Google forms, thanks for such a great resource!

Used this no prep activity as stations for my 8th graders. It was a great way to review the Legislative Branch! They had to think about vocabulary and solve puzzles…we all loved it!

My students are now addicted to your breakout activities! They are fun, but also a great way to check for understanding of the concepts. They are truly ZERO prep, but they are highly engaging, thorough and the kids love them. I have all of them and they will not be staple activities in my curriculum!
