These are GREAT! Katy Steklac of Beach Middle School in Chelsea, MI has now created three different escape room challenges for the band classroom and they are a ton of fun. She has graciously given us permission to share them on this page. Enjoy!
Here is a message that Katy posted on the Band Directors Facebook page last year when she shared them there:
Hello!
You may recall that I have created escape rooms for my middle school students for the first day of school the last two years. After many people showed interest, including my students, I have created a third, entirely brand new set of puzzles and tasks! It has now officially been kid tested, and it was more difficult that I originally thought, but I am going to keep it the way it is!
I have also created a "teacher" guide of sorts to help you set it up if you are interested in doing this with your own students.
I am not looking to make money off of this- I just think it is more fun than a typical first day of school ice breaker, and it gets the kids thinking on the first day of school! I do ask that if you do use, please let me know! I want to know how it works for you and your students!
This will be the last one that I create because I plan to rotate them from here on out. And I am 99% sure I have no more creativity left. :)
