Back to School Digital Escape Room

This fun and engaging Back to School Digital Escape Room is the perfect activity for the first day of school!

Are you looking for some fun icebreakers and collaborative activities for the first week of school? In this Digital Escape Ⓡ, there are nine different activities, including “Would You Rather…”, Syllabus/Requirements and Expectations Activity, Getting to Know Your Peers, and Class Goals.

In this Back to School Digital Escape Room, Mr. Buttercakes, the principal, has lost his assembly notes that are taking place in 45 minutes. These notes are extremely important, and he has enlisted you and your group to help him backtrack to find his notes.

⭐PLEASE READ⭐

MAKE SURE YOUR DISTRICT DOES NOT BLOCK YOU FROM USING JIGSAWPLANET.COM. THERE IS A LINK TO THESE SITES IN THE ESCAPE ROOM. I am not responsible if your district blocks these websites, and I suggest you test these sites first! I did include the solved puzzle to skip over this step in the escape if this is an issue.

*Some school districts block outside Google Sites. Please test this at school first!**

*If you are having trouble loading at your school, contact your IT department, and they may unblock the site for a day or two.

*You need to have presented your syllabus/requirements/expectations to your students. This may have been a ditto or worksheet. There are general questions on this topic like teacher contact, rules, requirements, etc.

*Students need to be grouped into groups of 4, and each student should have their own number within the group. Throughout the escape, a certain numbered student is asked to ask another numbered student in their group a question. This happens throughout the escape.
