ELA Easter Escape Room Marshmallow Bunnies & Chicks Close Reading

Imagine how much fun your students will have reading about the history of Peeps (R) marshmallow bunnies and chicks. After watching the video hook, they'll be eager for close reading the informational text to find all the clues and solve four challenges. In this engaging ELA escape room, they'll learn how the candies are made, how they got started, and write a narrative about the escape. Their completion certificate is a jigsaw puzzle with bright bunnies and chicks.
