This was such a fun resource – my students absolutely loved it. We paired this escape room with reading Balloons Over Broadway and creating our own balloons. The escape room was a perfect way to spend a fun day before Thanksgiving!

I teach computer at my school and I wanted a fun Thanksgiving activity to do with my students! They worked so well together to complete this in groups and loved that they got a certificate at the end! I have already purchased Christmas Webscapes to do soon!
