Year 8 English | End Of Year Critical & Creative Thinking ‘Escape Room’ Classroom Activity

In Year 8 English, some of our students recently tackled an engaging team-building ‘Escape Room’ activity.

This immersive experience involved working through a series of critical thinking English-based challenges, where students collaborated in small groups, solved puzzles and unlocked codes to progress through each station.

There were Task Cards outlining instructions around decoders, mazes, logic puzzles and picture puzzles, with an overarching Code Breaker Tracking Sheet.

This interactive approach encouraged critical thinking, effective communication and problem-solving, while allowing students to enjoy a special learning experience.
