Try a BUNDLE with a St. Patrick’s Day Escape Room and St. Patrick’s Day Collaborative Poster!
St. Patrick’s Day Escape Room:
The St. Patrickโs Day Escape Room will take students on a secret mission around the classroom! This escape room has students decode interesting facts about St. Patrickโs Day. Students are given a secret code name and sent on a secret mission to help save the St. Patrickโs Day parade. The codes include ciphers, Morse code, cryptograms and a final 4 digit code based on the decoders/clues.
Each clue and code is different. The codes require students to think differently to decipher or decode them. Some codes are easier than others. Some codes require critical thinking to determine what a letter/symbol stands for. Each code will reveal interesting facts about St. Patrickโs Day. The use of secret code will keep your students engaged while competing to find the final code. Students can report the final code to you. If you wanted to, you could purchase a 4 digit lock that you program, but it is not necessary at all! No props needed!! This is aย NO PREP, PRINT & GO Activity!
Students are sent on a โsecret missionโ and given a back story
to ignite their active learning skills. They are given a code name which makes them feel as if they are part of the secret mission. Students practice hands-on, practical problem solving skills all while learning about St. Patrickโs Day. Your students will be inspired to think outside the box! Spy themed music is highly recommended!
The best age range for this resource is 8+. Please look at the preview to determine if this resource works for your age group. Younger students may need some help with some of the more difficult codes.
You can use the pre-labeled clues or you can challenge older kids to choose/find the decoder that works for each of the clues. A set of labeled and non-labeled decoders are included for differentiation. A โHow to Decodeโ puzzles is also included.
In addition to learning or reinforcing the subject matter, my escape rooms encourage teamwork and critical thinking. As a โtimedโ challenge, students will be engaged from beginning to end.
New Feature: This escape room now includes 12 fun, colorful signs to take class pictures with at the end of the mission. Signs include โPuzzle Masterโ, โShe did all the workโ, โGeniusโ, โWe did itโ, โI Escapedโ and more! Hang the pictures in your room, send them in a parent newsletter or share them on social media.
St. Patrick’s Day Collaborative Poster:
The St. Patrickโs Day Collaborative Block Poster can be used as a fun teambuilding activity to celebrate St. Patrickโs Day. Students work together to piece their St. Patrickโs Day โblockโ with their classmates. The result is a beautiful, fun, one of a kind pop-art to hang in the hall.
You can use the St. Patrickโs Day Block Poster as a bulletin board display, hang on the classroom wall, classroom door, hallway, school entrance, library, gym or any place you see fit. This poster will pop and students and teachers will stop to admire your work!
This is the perfect activity to relax and celebrate St. Patrickโs Day! I like to play music in the background while they are working and coloring. The poster is designed so that each student colors their own block/piece of the poster. When everyone is done, they have to work as a team to put the block poster puzzle back together. Each poster has an abstract background to make your poster โpopโ. Collectively, your students CHOOSE the colors as a team!
Students will need color pencils, markers or crayons, tape and scissors. This activity is great because they can put a personal art twist on their own block. The included teacher and student directions are very simple to follow. The possibilities are endless with this activity! My favorite part is watching the kids work as a team to try to piece it back together.
This is GREAT for community building and teamwork! Teachers should create a classroom that supports persistence, effort and even mistakes. Hanging the St. Patrickโs Day Poster is the perfect reminder for students.
How you choose to set it up in your classroom is up to you. Each student colors one โblockโ or section of a large poster.ย This product includes 25 โblocksโ or pages to color. I do understand that some of you will have less than twenty five students, as do I. There are ALWAYS students that finish early that are eager to color a second page. I also like to sit down with my students and color a โblockโ. Print the file ONE time for each class on 8.5×11 paper!
