The Women in History Escape Room #2 will take students on a secret mission around the classroom! This escape room has students decode facts about four inspirational women who changed the world. The women included in this resource are: Harriet Tubman, Amelia Earhart, Maya Angelou and Helen Keller. Students may have heard those names before, but do they understand the impact they made on the world today? Sometimes students just need a day of movement around the room!
This Escape Room has students walking around the classroom reading about historical women and breaking codes. Students are given a secret code name and sent on a secret mission to save Amelia Earhart! The codes include ciphers, Morse code, cryptograms and a final 4 digit lock combination 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 four important historical women. The use of secret code will keep your students engaged while competing to find the final 4 digit combination. No props needed!! Students can report the final lock combination to you. If you wanted to, you could purchase a 4 digit lock that you program, but is not necessary at all!
The best age range for this resource is 9+. 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.
An answer key and teacher directions are provided.
Time needed: 30-60 minutes
A 30 page PDF is included.
