Printable Escape Room Puzzles for a Thanksgiving Rescue

This Thanksgiving escape room gives students an enjoyable way to practice reading, math, and problem-solving skills.

Students have to solve five puzzles to collect codes and help a turkey escape before dinner.

The activity includes a Thanksgiving word search, a math puzzle with basic operations, a secret code where A=1, B=2, and so on, a small crossword puzzle, and a final riddle. Students work through each challenge to find the codes they need.

This resource works best for grades 3-4, but it also fits grade 2 students who want something a bit harder and grade 5 students who enjoy quick activities.

It is in a PDF format. Ready to print—no extra prep work needed.

Teachers can use it as a center activity, with small groups, or with the whole class.

Kids enjoy the challenge of cracking each puzzle while learning at the same time. The Thanksgiving theme makes it feel special and seasonal.

The set comes with all the puzzle pages and answer keys. It's a good option when you want kids to learn but not be bored. Students get to practice vocabulary, math facts, and critical thinking while having fun with the holiday theme.
