ESCAPE ROOM Poetry, Figurative Language, Team Building Activity

Description

Escape Room Poetry introduces or reviews figurative language and poetry types in a fun and interactive way! Promote speaking and listening skills, as well as team-building and knowledge of poetry.

This escape room begins when students meet a cranky wizard who doesn’t appreciate their disdain for poetry. He threatens to turn them into garden gnomes unless they can prove they have some knowledge of poetry. The set-up is super easy! All you will have to do is watch and enjoy the activity. 🙂

Kids will be “working” but they’ll be having so much fun escaping that they won’t even realize how much they are learning!

⭐This resource is also part of this growing bundle at tremendous savings! ⭐

=======WHAT DO I HAVE TO SUPPLY?=======
All that is needed is a printer, a few folders, colored pencils, and scissors. Unlike other breakout activities, you don’t have to go out and buy expensive locks and boxes, because we’ve included everything you need to print and go!

=======WHAT MAKES THIS SPECIAL?=======
The storyline is interactive and immersive. YOUR students are directly involved in the story. It will provide you with a perfect opportunity to observe your students problem solving and working as a team. All of our escape resources are also great to use for an observation!

=======HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?=======
Completing the entire escape room will probably take about 50-60 minutes, depending on how quickly the class is able to complete the activities. Students will not have to leave the room. This is NOT a scavenger hunt.

Have fun and be sure to come back for more ESCAPE ROOM challenges!
