The pack contains: · PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer); · crossword ; · word search; · dominoes activity; · worksheet Differentiated over 2 versions); · code breaker sheet; · answer keys; · lesson plan. If time is limited just the crossword , word search and domino can be used. With a minimum of 50 minutes available one of the differentiated worksheets can also be used. The worksheet is the most challenging clue to solve and this can be omitted completely for less able classes. Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online if using an actual box containing an unopened bottle of a soft drink, with the label removed, for a member of the winning team to take to the technician. In the absence of a locked box, until the code is found, as each group completes a team member can be dispatched to the prep room for the technician to ”try the code”. Alternatively all the combination locks in the science department had been set to the same combination for an escape room lesson including the one used on the box with the antidote in the prep room. The combination has been lost but if the class can open the one in front of them it will open the one on the antidote! See more Elf Off the Shelf resources on this topic and many others
