Description
Have fun this Christmas by practicing reading comprehension with an engaging escape room activity. Suitable for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students, this printable, low prep breakout room will have your students begging for more. Practice comprehension, details, inferences, and context clues for vocabulary while reading a variety of nonfiction styled texts. There is even a bonus activity for early finishers!
This activity is a great choice for teachers that want to review reading comprehension skills with a holiday flair.
Please see the preview above for a glimpse at the four challenges students will complete.
This is a LOW/NO PREP activity. Just print packets of the challenges and texts and assign your students partners or groups. Want to save on paper? Use the included PDF digital file to share the texts with your students digitally.

****My escape rooms are meant to be challenging, but doable either independently or with minimal assistance. Some of your students may need scaffolding to complete activities. This is a great opportunity to teach perseverance and teamwork!*****
My collection of holiday and seasonal escape rooms is growing. Follow me so you get updates whenever new breakout activities are added.
