Escape Room Poetry introduces or reviews figurative language and poetry types in a fun and interactive way! Promote speaking and listening skills, as well as team-building and knowledge of poetry. This escape room begins when students meet a cranky wizard who doesn’t appreciate their disdain for poetry. He threatens to turn them into garden gnomes unless they can prove they have some knowledge of poetry. The set-up is super easy! All you will have to do is watch and enjoy the activity. :) Kids will be "working" but they'll be having so much fun escaping that they won't even realize how much they are learning! ⭐This resource is also part of this growing bundle at tremendous savings! ⭐ • ELA ESCAPE ROOM BUNDLE: A YEAR OF ESCAPES ==WHICH SKILLS ARE COVERED?== After kids read a comic that sets up the escape, they will have some fun figuring out their "gnome" name.
