How The Reindeer Games Digital Christmas Escape Room Works:
- Students watch a video that introduces the reindeer games back story. Then, students receive a digital letter inviting them to the annual Reindeer Games in the North Pole.
- They will compete in physical, problem-solving, and linguistic skills digital challenges. This is not just a competition, it is also a job interview; the winning group gets to be the next team of reindeer trainers! Because Santa is such a grammar nerd, students will also have to complete some ELA-related tasks to win. Students should have a basic understanding of parts of speech as well as figurative language (simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, alliteration, pun, oxymoron, onomatopoeia, idiom).
- Students use response slides to record their answers to the digital puzzles and riddles.
