Escape Room Word Scramble Worksheet

Hey fellow teachers! Here's a word scramble I created for our classroom escape room unit. This 2-page printable has 24 exciting escape room terms that will get your students thinking like puzzle masters.

I tested this with my 4th graders during our last escape room theme day. The kids went crazy trying to be the first to unscramble words like "clue," "puzzle," and "decoder." It really got them in the right mindset before we started our actual escape challenges.

You'll love using this when:

• Introducing escape room concepts

• Needing a quick warm-up activity

• Preparing for a classroom escape game

• Looking for a fun critical thinking exercise

The first page has all the scrambled words in an easy-to-read format. The second page is your answer key - because we all know how crazy those escape room days can get!

Some of the words I included:

• Locks (easy)

• Cipher (medium)

• Artifact (challenging)

What worked great in my class was having students work in their escape teams to solve the scrambles. The competitive energy was awesome! You can also use it individually for early finishers.

No fancy prep needed - just print and you're ready to go. I like to print mine on "top secret" colored paper to make it feel more special.

Bonus teacher tip: Have students create their own scrambled words for classmates after they finish!
