⭐ This 4th and 5th grade making inferences escape room is a truly immersive experience. Students navigate their way through a jungle safari by taking pictures of an animal stampede, elephants, crocodiles, and orangutans as they complete four reading comprehension challenges. Each challenge requires students to use inferencing in fiction and nonfiction skills. Students add their answers to the Secret Jungle Safari Decoder Tool to help them unlock the secret codes and complete each challenge. Students earn items used to navigate the mission and earn their official Safari Photographer certificate.
