The next two pages contain my made up clues that allows students to use the power of elimination to solve the mystery. I cut these clues into strips and place them in envelopes for each student

Students take turns drawing the pieces, if the student does not topple the tower, they do not have to answer the question. If they do, they must answer all of the previous questions.

Bible Break out Box || using Parables!
This is the opposite of an Escape Room as you are breaking into a box. This religious game uses four parables - sower, talents, lost sheep and the good Samaritan. My kids have played these in school and they call it “break out boxes”. In my opinion, it should be called “break in” because you’re racing to break-in to the last box! There are four boxes total (one inside the others) and you have to figure out how to get into each one. You can have as many groups as you have materials for. If you h

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
