⭐ Valentine’s Day is the PERFECT time to explore poetry! This 6th-8th grade Help Cupid Poetry Escape Room & Webscape™ gets students engaged in practicing key poetry skills. Students solve challenges to help Cupid spread love and kindness for Valentine’s Day. In this reading escape room, students are asked to complete four unique challenges. Each challenge requires students to read passages and answer a variety of reading skill focused multiple-choice questions. Challenges are fun and relevant to the overall story. Upon completing challenges, students follow the story by watching custom videos created specifically for this activity. Students and teachers love this activity, and it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day.

✨ But that’s not all! To unlock the secret code and complete each challenge, students must use The Cupid Decoder Tool, a powerful tool that will guide them on their quest. With each completed challenge, students will earn clues that will help them find clues to add to their scrapbooks.

⭐ This poetry escape room comes in digital and print formats.

• Webscape™ Interactive Digital Format – This web-based format provides the most interactive and immersive experience possible. It is self directed, self correcting, and contains audio. You can check out my video overview here. You won’t believe how engaging this format is until you try it!

• Printable Format – Students can use any device to scan QR codes to watch the videos. If no device is available, students can skip the videos and still enjoy the exercise. Students use a printable Cupid Decoder and answer sheet to decipher the clues and track their answers.

⭐ Integrated videos, thematic items, and a fun back story come together to engage students while developing and reviewing reading comprehension skills.

*Please note: The printable version includes QR codes for videos hosted on YouTube. If you plan on using the printable format, please ensure you and your students have access to YouTube. The videos are embedded in the Webscape version, so it does not require access to YouTube.
