Escape Middle School SEL Boom Cards (Transitioning to high school)

In this 38 Boom card deck escape room, 8th graders (7th or 9th graders) will be trying to escape middle school to make their graduation on time! They will be solving 9 puzzles (and 1 final fill in the blank word puzzle in the end) that mention peer pressure, the amygdala part of the brain, SMART goals, growth mindset, soft skills, healthy foods, and dealing with sports stress.

Each puzzle will reveal 1 or 2 letters that ultimately form the last word to get the student out of the school. This is a fun activity when kids are transitioning from 8th grade to high school. This could be played by 7th, 8th, or 9th graders, however. There are some GIFS sprinkled throughout the deck and a video song link of Pomp & Circumstance when they finish.

For the cafeteria the fill in the blank is "join a club".) For the library there are 2 correct answers: Susan asked everyone to participate... and Jamilla shared..., for the auditorium, the answers (2) are "I will keep practicing" and I'm going to try..." for the hallway, the wrong answer is "Tell other friends..." and for the basketball court the wrong answer is "Not talking about..." for the brain it is "Flood of emotions...")To use Boom Cards, you must be connected to the Internet.
