MLK Escape Room | 1st & 2nd Grade Reading | Digital Google Forms | Teamwork

Please help us!!! We are at Martin Luther King Jr.’s house and we can’t find his “I Have a Dream” speech. He asked us to find his speech at his house, but we can’t find it. We must find it so he can give this famous speech.

This is an escape room like activity in which students complete language arts tasks and use problem solving skills. Students are very EXCITED and ENGAGED when working through this activity. Students will have to solve problems and follow the directions in a scavenger like hunt working on language arts concepts along the way. The teacher may need to help guide students on the correct path. This activity can be done as a whole group or in a small group. The teacher can provide lots of teacher direction or students can work in cooperative groups with minimal assistance. This activity may take around 30-45 minutes for students to complete.

This activity can be completed by students in 3 different ways.

1-Paper Copy Method-Students complete worksheets with or without going around the room for a scavenger hunt. Directions are provided for both (You will need six 10” x 13” envelopes and to print some sheets)

2-Smart Notebook Method-Students complete activity on Smartboard

3-Google Form Method-Students complete the activity using one-to-one devices or the teacher displays on Smartboard (Internet access and Google account required)
