Winter Music Escape Room

Are you looking for a fun and interactive way for your students to practice musical concepts? This Winter escape room set includes materials for an escape room to practice rhythm, melody, and more! Students will work in small groups to solve puzzles, earn letters, and unscramble the letters to form a musical word, then escape the room!

The tasks included in this Winter Escape Room are:

• Task 1, Rhythm Code: Students code winter words to rhythms using a key, then open an envelope to get a clue to figure out their letter. Two versions are included: one for ta, ti-ti, and rest, and one for ti-tika/ tika-ti.

• Task 2, Instrument Secret Tiles: Students put together secret tiles and receive a letter by answering questions about instruments and instrument families.

• Task 3, Solfa and Note Name Match Up: Students match the solfa patterns to the staff patterns, or the letter words to the notes on the treble clef staff. Many versions are included: sol-mi, la, do, re, low la, low sol, high do, fa, ti, lines on the treble clef staff, spaces on the treble clef staff, and lines and spaces on the treble clef staff.

• Task 4, Puzzle: Students either put together a musical symbols puzzle with cardstock pieces or through a website on a Chromebook, computer, or iPad.

• Task 5, Rhythm dice: Students roll the rhythm die, then write the rhythms they roll, read their rhythms, then get an envelope with their letter. Four versions are included: ta, ti-ti, and rest, half note, and tika-ti (two sixteenths/ one eighth.)

The escape room set also includes:

• Signs to post at each task
• Link to video, which will set up the storyline about escaping the room.
• Directions for the set, including how to set up the lesson, possible additional purchases, things to keep in mind, and more!
• Editable files, including editable PowerPoints for escape room certificates, editing letters, typing directions, and more!
