US Civil War Escape Room Activity
An interactive way for your students to review different topics related to the American Civil War in an engaging way!
This US Civil War Escape Room activity works best as a review, after teaching your American Civil War unit. (Looking for a high-quality unit? I have a No Prep Civil War Unit Bundle and a more comprehensive Civil War Curriculum Unit that comes with everything you need to teach the American Civil War.)
This US Civil War escape room includes:
✅ Detailed teacher directions
✅ Detailed challenge instructions for the teacher
✅ 4 unique challenges with printable props & prep directions
✅ Clue cards for each challenge
✅ Detailed answer key for each puzzle
✅ Student recording page (½ sheet to save paper!)
✅ Google form for digital lock option (detailed directions included) if you want to use this instead
✅ Prize ideas
✅ 30 signs students can choose from to take a picture at the end & editable template
✅ Links to boxes and locks to purchase IF you decide to use this option
✅ Reward coupon templates
✅ Labels for each challenge
Topics included in this American Civil War escape room:
⭐️ causes of the Civil War
⭐️ Abraham Lincoln
⭐️ strengths & weaknesses of the North and South
⭐️ major battles of the US Civil War
How is this social studies escape room different?
✅ Students do not have to solve the challenges in a specific order.
✅ Students do not have to solve all of the challenges to be successful!
✅ You do not need actual lockboxes or locks! There is a self-checking digital option included that is easy to assign to students.
✅ Multiple clue cards for each challenge is included so you can pass these out to students if they are stuck. These clue cards help guide students to the solution without solving it for them.
✅ You can reduce the number of challenges students solve to differentiate (and you can also assign specific challenges because students do not need to solve the challenges in a specific order). This allows you to customize this social studies escape room based on your unique classroom needs!
What materials do you need?
✅ There are directions included for 3 options you can use for this social studies escape room. You do NOT have to buy locks and boxes if you don’t want to! I have included directions and suggested items if you do want to use locks and boxes. The easiest and cheapest option is to use a manila folder for each challenge (all directions provided). If you don’t want to print student recording pages, you can use the digital lock self-checking Google Form option (directions provided).
✅ For all options, you will need the following materials (besides the printed materials included in this resource): Manila folders
