Description
This PLOT ELEMENTS ESCAPE ROOM breakout activity uses fractured fairy tales to teach and reinforce the elements of a plot. It is a fun, team building ADVENTURE that requires reading comprehension skills, understanding of plot elements, creative writing, inferencing, and problem-solving.
The adventure begins when YOU, the most awesome teacher in the history of the world, take the kids on a little trip to a publishing house. Things go a bit awry, and the kids have to save the day by rising to the required tasks!
Kids will be "working" but they'll be having so much fun that they won't even realize how much they are learning!
⭐This resource is also part of this growing bundle at tremendous savings! ⭐

=======HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?=======
Completing the entire escape will probably take about 40-60 minutes, depending on how quickly the class is able to complete the activities. Students will not have to leave the room. This is NOT a scavenger hunt.
