*Digital* Banned Books Week Escape Room / Breakout Game

Looking for a fun way to get your students talking, moving, and collaborating? Look no further!

Over twenty five banned books are involved with this breakout game. Students will move around the room to learn more about banned books and authors that they’ve interacted with in their everyday lives. Physical copies of the books are not required.

This Escape Room / Breakout Game is completely digital and is hosted on Google Sites. There is an answer sheet included that you can print for students to fill out. On some digital games, there are also clues that involves a word search that either you or the students can print out.

★ Some of the Banned/Challenged books mentioned in this lesson include Eleanor and Park, the Giver, Crank, the Bible, Charlotte’s Web, Harriet the Spy, Fallen Angels, Winnie the Pooh, the Diary of Anne Frank, the Hunger Games, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter, Coraline, Looking for Alaska, the Dictionary, Where’s Waldo, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Harry Potter, Lord of the Flies, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Kite Runner, Twilight, The da Vinci Code, The Great Gatsby, Gone with the Wind, The Color Purple, Divergent, and the Lord of the Rings.

★ The clues do not go into a lot of detail about the stories; they mainly mention that the books are banned and some of the books have to be identified by students based on their plot.
