Argument Writing Digital Escape Room Review Game Activity

Argument Writing Digital Escape Room

This product contains a digital escape room created in 2022 based on an older game for use with paper and Breakout Box kits. Both games are included in the download.

Digital Escape Room: Students must be able to access Google Sites, Forms, and Slides as well as Youtube to play the digital version of the game. They must also have a Google sign-in. No Breakout Box kit is necessary for the digital version.

Paper Room: For the Breakout Box version, students must be able to access YouTube. If you do not have a Breakout Box kit, a Google answer form is included so students can play.

Spice up your study of argumentation with an escape room game! My students loved this activity, and yours will, too!
