Escape Room: Easter Egg Hunt Math Mystery (Spring)

(0)
Students love Escape Rooms and Easter. Combine them and it is a hit. Capture their imagination with this escape room and get the students excited for learning. A perfect way to celebrate Easter and Spring. This Easter Escape Room can work for both individuals and groups. I typically print off the clues in color, laminate them for durability, and scatter them around the room. I place the students in groups of 2-4. The students work their way around the clues solving them and putting the answers on the students page (which I double side, as it has the story on one side and a space for the answers on the other). When they have finished they check back in with the teacher to confirm if they are correct. I typically give them an Easter Egg at this stage (but that is up to you). The Story: You have turned up at school and your lovely teacher has bought an Easter egg each for the whole class!! The whole class cheers in anticipation of the chocolate goodness. As the teacher reaches into their basket they discover it is empty of Easter eggs . In its place is a safe which requires a numbered code to open. Next to the safe are 10 clues. Solve the clues to reveal the code so that you can discover what is in the safe. The Puzzles: Puzzle 1: A grid logic puzzle Puzzle 2: A cryptogram Puzzle 3: 4 digit addition and subtraction problems Puzzle 4: Following Directions Puzzle 5: Reading charts and graphs Puzzle 6: Multiple single digit addition and subtraction Puzzle 7: Hundreds Board with multiples, addition and subtraction Puzzle 8: Algebra Puzzle Puzzle 9: Addition hexagon Puzzle 10: Addition circles Enjoy and please remember to follow me by clicking the following link to easily find my latest resources and receive discounts.

Mu torere is said to be the only native board game of the Maori. It is played on the points and centre of an 8-pointed star, by two players with four pieces each. The object of the game is to block your opponent so they cannot move. Mu Torere is the perfect game to celebrate Matariki, or Waitangi Day, especially if it is raining. I also put the boards in my math game area for my math rotations and early finishers. I have included 2 different game boards. First ,the traditional star board and the other being more of a wheel design (My students seem to prefer this one) Further I have included some counters for it (Or just use your plastic ones). Oh yes I have included instructions on how to play. Simply print, cut and laminate for a long lasting resource. I laminate the game board on one side and the instructions on the other.
