What’s Included in the Instant Download? 🔎 PDF game guide 🔎 PDF game materials 🔎 Set up instructions 🔎 Signs to hold up 🔎 Frequently asked questions 🔎 Coupon code for future purchases Play Options 🔒 Individual 🔒 Partners 🔒 Groups of 3-4 Everything you need for your printable kids game is included in your download.

There are 10 stations with various puzzles and code-breaking games. Some stations may be trickier than others so we’ve included clue sheets to help solve each game. Play time varies depending on how large of a group is playing. Once finished, you can save the instructions and station puzzles to play again another day. ***This product works best if it is printed in color because some of the puzzle cards are color-coded.*** How long does this activity take to complete? It really depends on a lot of things. Estimated completion time is based on the kids’ puzzle experience, decoding skills, critical thinking skills, age and group size. See the Options Page (inside resource) for ideas on how to best use this resource based on the time you have allotted. How many kids can play at once? As many as you want! Personally, I prefer to let kids work on their own or with a partner, however, you can play in small groups as well! If you are working in small groups or partner, please print an answer sheet for each group. I do not suggest groups of more than 4. The reason I like to use partners is to promote competition and teamwork. Have the kids compete against each other for better engagement. How do I set up the Escape Room? To set up the escape room, you simply need to print and play! It’s that easy! Everything you need is included in your download. You don’t need any locks, envelopes or special equipment. To extend the game experience, you can hide the puzzle cards around the house or room like a scavenger hunt. Fun hiding spots: under the coffee table, behind a door, hanging on shower wall, in a dresser, etc. The harder they are to find, the more fun the kids have! Do I need locks, envelopes or special equipment? NOT AT ALL! This was created to make your life easier! Perfect for last-minute party planners! There are no fancy envelopes to stuff or odd shapes to cut out. All you will need to do is to print these documents, hide them and begin! What if the kids get stuck on one of the puzzles? First off, let them think for a bit! This is where critical thinking skills come in. If you have a kid truly struggling, consider showing them a hint card. The more difficult puzzles include examples. This will provide them with a guide for how to solve each puzzle. I only let kids see a hint card if they have been stuck on a puzzle for an extended period of time. You can also decide that each team or kid gets to use only a certain number of hint cards. If you set a limit to the use of hint cards, they will spend more time trying to solve the puzzles (that’s the whole goal!). Consider a limit of 3-4. Where do kids start? It does NOT matter the order in which they solve each puzzle. Kids will work at different paces, so don’t worry! How do kids know if their answers are correct? First of all, the answers to every puzzle are a common word. If their answer does not spell out a word, then they made a mistake somewhere along the way. At the end of the escape room, they will be asked to unscramble a word using letters from the puzzle solutions. If they can’t create a word, it is likely that one or more of their answers is wrong. Who can play the game? We recommend ages 8+. However, younger kids can definitely play if they have help from an adult or older kid. How much space do I need? That’s up to you! You can do the whole experience at the dining room table, spread out on the floor or even on the couch if you wanted. You can also spread the puzzles out throughout the house and turn it into a scavenger hunt if you so choose. How are Think Tank Escape Rooms different than other printable escape rooms? Our escape rooms are unlike any others! What sets us apart is the element of NO-PREP! They are print and go ready with NO PREP required from the host! Perfect for someone who wants to try an escape room at home but doesn’t want the hassle of cutting out puzzle pieces, folding handmade envelopes or taping shapes together. We are truly the ONLY NO-PREP escape room on the market! Do I have to print out the game materials for every single kid? Nope, not at all! Unlike other escape rooms, ours is the ONLY ONE where you only have to print out the answer sheet for each kid or group. Just one set of the Game Materials is all you need!

500 science activities for each month of the year, with season themes, for kids from preschool kindergarten to high school. Making teaching STEM easy.
I recently had another opportunity to observe a science program in an after school setting, this time at Greenleaf Elementary School in Oakland, CA. The rising fifth graders have an hour and a half of STEM programming after lunch every afternoon, and the day I visited they did an activity about cleaning up oil in the ocean. They worked with trays filled a few inches with water, feathers, straws, cotton balls and sponges. I think it's especially challenging to lead activities like this, where the materials you have to work with are analogies of what really happens in the real world. I was impressed with the ways the facilitator drew connections between the activity they were doing and what happens in the real world. The facilitator started the activity by asking the kids what they already knew about oil spills. I was struck by how many hands went in the air, and details the kids knew including the catastrophic spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The group discussed what kinds of engineers help solve the environmental problems caused by oil spills - chemical and environmental engineers. In groups, the kids examined their 'oceans' of water, with oil floating on top. They discussed and wrote observations in their science notebooks. The facilitator introduced some terms and definitions and then passed out materials the kids would use to try to clean up the oil. As kids formulated their plans for working together to get the oil off the feathers and out of the 'ocean', the facilitator passed around photos of actual oil spills and the effects they have on wildlife. Then it was time to work together to figure out how to use materials to clean up the oil. During the discussion after the activity, the kids all said that they enjoyed this activity even though it was very difficult to get all the oil out of the water and off of the feathers. In order to help kids make connections between the science activities we do after school and science in the real world, here are some things we see quality programs doing: Ask kids what they already know about related issues Show kids pictures, news articles or videos Introduce kids to a scientist who works on the problem in the field Take a field trip Participate in a citizen science project to help a scientist conduct a study on a related issue Let us know some ways that your after school science program connects kids to real world science!
