Parts of Speech Escape Room Activity - Grammar Breakout Game - Alien Planet
Parts of Speech Escape Room Activity - Grammar Breakout Game - Alien Planet: Engage your students with this interactive Parts of Speech Escape Room Breakout Activity! Students will practice parts of speech by visiting stations and completing puzzles and challenges related to the eight parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. This escape room can be set up in a traditional format with classroom stations, or it 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.
Escape Room 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.

How This Parts of Speech Escape Room Activity Works:
Students will work in small groups and move about the classroom to five different stations, completing puzzles and activities related to parts of speech. The goal of the escape room is to successfully complete the task at each station and retrieve a variety of mystery code words. An alternative option is to use the bell-ringer format, where students tackle one station each day, progressively working toward escaping by Friday. Below are the five tasks students will complete:
- 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!
Before beginning this escape room, students should have a solid understanding of the following parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.
