"The Tempest" Escape Room Digital & Print

Looking for a fun and engaging way to review Shakespeare’s The Tempest? Want to add some collaboration (and maybe some competition) to your classes? Then The Tempest Digital Escape Room is for you!

Escape rooms allow students to review texts without the boring study guides. Students will rely on their knowledge of the text and use logic to solve six tasks:

• Task 1: Plot -> Students decide which seven of the twelve plot points belong on a plot diagram and then put the cards in order. The correct order becomes the code for this task.

• Task 2: Character Crossword -> Students solve a crossword puzzle based on character descriptions. Unscramble the shaded letters to unlock the code.

  Digital version: links to an external site

• Task 3: Quote Match -> Match a quote to the character who said it. Unscramble the shaded letters to unlock the code.

• Task 4: Close Reading -> Read an excerpt from Act 3 and answer five multiple-choice questions. Unscramble the letters to unlock the code.

• Task 5: Jigsaw Puzzle -> Assemble a jigsaw puzzle to reveal a quote. Use the key on the answer sheet to unlock the code.

• Task 6: Cryptogram -> Use clues gathered throughout the other tasks to decipher an encrypted message.
