Description

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

Suggested time for the escape room is 30 minutes if students know the 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, 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 half note, dotted quarter note.

Puzzles can be mix and matched between levels should you wish.
