Grammar Escape Room Activity Bundle - 4 Classroom Grammar Breakout Games: Engage your students with these highly engaging and interactive games to have them show their understanding of grammar rules. This comprehensive set combines four thrilling escape scenarios – Escape the Alien Planet, Escape the Military Bunker, Escape the Secret Study, and Escape the Medieval Dungeon – designed to deepen understanding and mastery of grammar rules. These escape rooms can be set up in a traditional format with classroom stations, or they can be used as a daily bell-ringer challenge. In the bell-ringer option, students work with their group for the first 5-10 minutes of class from Monday to Friday, progressively getting closer to escaping by the end of the week.

How These Grammar Escape Rooms Work:

For each grammar escape room, students will collaborate in small groups and rotate among five stations set up in the classroom, engaging in puzzles and activities focused on the following grammar topics: capitalization, parts of speech, sentence types, and punctuation. The objective of each escape room is to successfully complete tasks at each station and collect various mystery codes related to grammar rules. Alternatively, the activities can be structured as a bell-ringer, with students tackling one station daily, gradually working towards their escape by the end of the week.

Topics Covered in This Grammar Escape Room Bundle:

Sentence Types (simple, compound, complex, compound-complex)
Punctuation (commas, semi-colons, colons, apostrophes)
Capitalization Rules
The 8 Parts of Speech

➡️ Escape the Military Bunker (Capitalization):

Scenario: In this capitalization escape room, students explore an abandoned military base and become trapped in a mysterious underground bunker, needing a password to operate the elevator. They must search the eerie chambers for clues and unlock passwords to move the elevator back to the surface. Below are the challenges included:

Capitalization Puzzle: Students will assemble a jigsaw puzzle that reveals hidden text on four cards. They will correct the capitalization errors on those cards to reveal a four-number passcode to move to the next floor.
Capitalization Close Reading: Students will read a military memo that contains capitalization errors. When they correct them all, it will reveal a hidden password to input into the bunker's elevator.
Capitalization Matching Game: In this station, students will match up example sentences to the capitalization rules they are following. Once they have them all correctly connected, it will reveal a hidden word they can use to move to the next floor.
Capitalization Code Cipher: In this station, students will correct capitalization errors on four cards that contain secret codes at the top. Once they have the errors corrected, it will reveal secret instructions for how to decipher the codes and determine the passphrase.
Capitalization Hidden Phrase: In this final task, students will read a historical text and correct capitalization errors to reveal a hidden passphrase they need to escape the military bunker!

➡️ Escape the Alien Planet (Parts of Speech):

Scenario: Students take on the role of head astronaut at the William Space Sphere, a human settlement on an alien planet. The settlement faces imminent destruction from a meteor shower and space storm. Struggling with amnesia, students must explore the damaged settlement, find the astronaut's manual, and use parts of speech-based clues to unlock passwords and escape the planet. Below are the challenges included:

Parts of Speech Space Sphere Entrance Challenge: To enter the Space Sphere, students must read sentences and determine the part of speech for the underlined word. When they input the correct name of the part of speech into the grid, it will reveal the hidden passphrase to open the Space Sphere.
Board the Spaceship Hidden Verbs Challenge: To board the spaceship, students must read a passage and identify all the verbs. The first letter of each verb, in order, will reveal a hidden passphrase needed to gain access to the ship.
Restoring Spaceship Power Conjunction and Preposition Challenge: To restore power to the spaceship, students must read sentences and determine if the underlined word is a conjunction or a preposition. They must then place the strips onto a grid in the proper locations to reveal a hidden message needed to start up the ship.
Resetting Navigation Parts of Speech Challenge: To reset navigation, students must rotate rings that contain different parts of speech and words. By aligning them properly using their knowledge of parts of speech, they will restore the navigation system.
Take off Parts of Speech Challenge: In this final task, students must assemble a grid puzzle so that all examples on the edges match up the part of speech to the proper example. If they assemble the puzzle correctly, they will be able to take off and escape the alien planet!

➡️ Escape the Evil Professor's Study (Punctuation):

Scenario: In this punctuation-themed escape room adventure, students find themselves exploring the mysterious wing of a university arts building named after the elusive Professor Dr. Payne. After straying from their tour group, they become trapped in Dr. Payne's secret study, filled with arcane instruments and locked objects labeled with Roman numerals I to V. To escape, they must decipher punctuation-based puzzles and unravel the professor's literary mysteries before time runs out. Below are the challenges included:

The Locked Chest - Count the Commas: Students must read a passage and add the missing commas. They will have to line up a set of books and use the number of commas to determine a numerical code to unlock a chest with their next clue.
The Computer Password - Input the Apostrophes: Students must correct apostrophe errors and find letters close to them to form a mystery phrase to use as a computer password.
The Locked Safe - Correcting Colons: Students must connect strips of paper with sentences on it to the colon rules they are using the determine the directions for a slide lock on a safe.

Scenario: In this medieval escape room, participants step into the shoes of a minor lord's son trapped in a dungeon by the double-dealing Chancellor Doran during a time of political turmoil. Discovering the Chancellor's treachery, players must navigate puzzles left by the former dungeon keeper to secure their escape, using keys found in the chamber. With the fate of their fiefdom uncertain outside, they must unravel the clues swiftly to break free before it's too late. Below are the challenges included:

The Key Ring - Counting Sentence Types: Students read a report on politics and must determine how many examples of simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences are used. With this information, they'll be able to choose the correct key to escape the first chamber of the dungeon.
Alphabetic Lock - Sentence Type Mystery Phrase: Students must read four passages labeled with a sentence type. They must count the instances of the sentence type on that card and use that number to skip to a word within the text. These words together form a passphrase they need to escape this chamber.
The Levers - Sentence Types Hidden Words: Students will decipher the correct order to pull levers by analyzing passages and identifying sentence types. They will use a template with small cut-out holes that overlay the text, revealing hidden words on the cards underneath.
The Chain Links - Organzing Sentence Types: Students will arrange cards into a grid based on their sentence types. Once correctly organized, a color will emerge, allowing them to match it with a corresponding sentence type to break the chain link.

What Teachers Are Saying About These Grammar Escape Room Bell-Ringers:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This has been a great resource to get my students discussing grammar! I used all of the puzzles in a set as a focused grammar day and it worked really well!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This resource is EXTREMELY organized!... I LOVED it, and my students were always excited for the end of each term. I used this resource as a review before formal tests, as an extension, and on those days when I could not teach new topics or take grades because I would have students out of class for various reasons.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I purchased just one of the rooms at first, but my son and I enjoyed it so much I purchased the bundle! These are really fun, even for just my son and I to use in home-school. It was challenging enough that he definitely learned something, but fun enough that he didn't realize he was learning!
