Thanksgiving Day Parade Reading Comprehension Escape Room 1st Grade

⚡ This 1st grade reading comprehension escape room is a truly immersive experience. Students read passages and answer comprehension questions in order to escape the Thanksgiving Day Parade. In this escape room, students are asked to complete four unique challenges. Each challenge requires students to read passages and answer multiple choice questions to successfully reroute the parade to avoid all of the obstacles.

⭐ This reading comprehension review escape room comes in digital and print formats.
