Description

No extra materials are needed (only pencil, crayons, and scissors), and limited prep (printing, cutting decoder page in half, and reading directions) is required. 2 different levels are included to allow you to use this with multiple grade levels!

The suggested time for the escape room is 30 minutes if students know the included concepts well – or 45 minutes if students are less confident in their knowledge or younger than Grade 4.

Level 1 knowledge:

• Notes on the treble staff (lines and spaces, but no ledger lines)
• Rhythms: eighth notes, quarter note, quarter rest, half note, dotted half note, whole note (a separate version with British rhythm terms – quavers, crotchet, etc. is also included)

Level 2 knowledge:

• Notes on the treble staff and the bass staff (no ledger lines)
• Rhythms: level 1 rhythms + sixteenth notes, half rest, whole rest, dotted quarter note, single eighth note (separate version with British rhythm terms is included).

Puzzles can be mix and matched between levels should you wish. For example, if your students know only level 1 rhythm, but can read music in both treble clef and bass clef.

Contents:

• teacher directions
• clue sheet (cheat sheet containing all the information required to complete the puzzles – helpful if leaving with a substitute)
• story (both color and black & white versions included)
• student answer/recording sheet
• 2 decoders using musical skills
• Puzzle #1 – color by rhythm mystery picture
• Puzzle #2 – involves music math
• Puzzle #3 – maze using note reading & rhythms
• Puzzle #4 – riddle (1 riddle in level 1, 2 riddles in level 2) – involves note reading & a very basic knowledge of musical instruments to answer the riddle(s).
