Description
I created this escape room to introduce the Islamic Golden Age to my students. They don’t need any prerequisite about the Golden Age knowledge to complete this activity.
However, my students have already learned the words caliphate and mosque in what we’ve studied so far in relation to Islam (they’re answers to the rebus clues in locks 3 and 5), so they'll need to know those words.
This breakout features 12 locks. The kids will need to work together to
solve clues involving
- map skills
- custom Wordles as well as custom Worldles (these are two different things)
- cheesy rebuses
- a virtual jigsaw puzzle
- solve a basic algebraic equation
- use a formula and find to find the area of "the round city"
- using knowledge gained by reading quick overviews on topics like achievements in math and science
This product contains a link to a game I created on Breakout Edu. You and your students don't need a Breakout Edu account to play. All the clues are already loaded, and the game is entirely ready to go. I made every clue using Google Slides or a link to another site (such as Jigsaw planet).
I also included my Google Drive folder containing every clue (all clues are in the form of either slides or links). This way, you can copy it and customize the escape room clues to meet your needs. If you do make changes, you'll need to recreate the breakout in either Breakout Edu, Google Forms, or another format so that you can incorporate the changes that you've made.
I included an answer key as well.
These take considerable time to put together, but the kids have a blast with them, making it worthwhile.
All slides are viewable by any on the web, but please make sure that your district allows students to view slides outside of their organization before purchase. And if your district blocks jigsaw planet, this activity is still well worth it. Just give them the answer included in the key for that slide.
