Ease your rising middle schoolers' worries about the middle school transition with an engaging collaborative learning activity escape room complete with five challenges during your classroom counseling lessons! Build excitement by reading the opening challenge and instructions in a letter from middle school students. Two of the puzzles include differentiated versions! Your students will work collaboratively in four groups to solve five challenges to prove they're ready for middle school. At each challenge, students will unlock code words and phrases to earn a tile for their middle school map. Finish the escape room with a letter from middle schoolers, printable prizes, and photo props for taking fun "We escaped!" pictures! Teams will race to solve 5 challenges: Challenge #1: "Middle School Myths" - Groups will sort statements onto the mats and piece together the puzzle to find the code word. Challenge #2: "Finding My Classes" - Students will practice reading a middle school schedule and school map to find the code word. Challenge #3: "Opening My Locker" - Groups will use the combination lock to crack the code. Challenge #4: "Dodging Drama" - Groups will work their way through the maze, responding to scenario task cards along the way. Challenge #5: "Healthy Friendships" - Groups will read the clues to fill in characteristics of a good friend in the puzzle. Choose from 2 ways to do the escape room: Option 1: Students will rotate through the 5 stations at the same time, moving at your signal. Assign each group to one of the stations (one will be empty). Groups who finish early at a station can start on a bonus activity to redeem for a hint if needed later. Option 2: Each group will work through the 5 activities at their own pace. This option requires prepping a compete set of all 5 challenges for each group but will likely require less classroom time. Together, teams will glue each tile to their middle school map as they race to escape. Printable prizes for all finishers include bookmarks with instructions for opening a combination lock! Close the lesson by reading a finisher script from middle schoolers and posing for fun "We escaped!" photo ops. Three bonus activities are included for early finishers to solve in exchange for hints along the way! Hint cards and "We Need Help!" cards are also included.
