Thanksgiving Escape Room Activities for ESL Students

Do you want to do something creative and useful for Thanksgiving? I got you covered! How about a fun and productive escape room?

How to play?

Easy

  • You can give all tasks at once to your students. They have to finish all the tasks (in any order), give the answer sheets back to you. After that they can get a certificate!
  • You give the first task. After they finish it, students give you the answer sheet. You give the next task, and continue this way.
  • You can give one task a day – so the excitement for the following lesson is growing. At the end of the week they get a certificate!

Medium

  • You can organize a real quiz/escape room in the classroom! Students need to find tasks in different places. They use clues to guide them. A file with clues and a detailed step-by-step instruction with places is included.
  • You can also use your own ideas with your own clues. For this I attach a page with blank clues. You can print and write anything you want, maybe some hints/places/jokes only your students understand. It will be a fantastic unique escape room!

Or maybe you need a digital version? I’ve got an amazing 360 degree escape room to surprise your students!

I’m Nadiia

Teaching and learning languages is my passion.

Why and how I started creating escape rooms?

It all began back in 2022. You know there are moments when you want to find something and then magic ✨ you find it! I accidentally came across the TPT website (Teachers pay Teachers) and decided at once that I’ll start my store there!

Long story short, I was so inspired, I started creating products at once, it was autumn and the Christmas season was near so I made my first Christmas Escape Room!

I was living in Romania during that time because of russia’s attack on Ukraine, and starting my store helped me stay focused and busy.
