St. Patrick’s Day History Code Escape Room – Close Reading Passage
$6.00
St. Patrick’s Day History Code Escape Room
Wow your students with the History of St. Patrick’s Day Comprehension Code Escape Room! Students will complete 4 reading comprehension tasks which, if done correctly, will lead them to a 4-dIgit code. Students will LOVE this close reading challenge! Great addition to your holiday plans.
Topics include: St. Patrick’s Day history, traditions and celebrations
Students will work individually (or in pairs) and race to see who can crack the code first! A friendly competition always increases engagement. After completing each “task” students will earn a “CLUE” to shade boxes on their answer grid. In the end, the grid will reveal a four-digit code!
The Close Reading Activities in this packet allow students to work on comprehension skills after reading the passage several times searching for evidence. As students complete each task, they will reveal a mystery word to unscramble and a new clue. No prior knowledge is needed.
A police report is read and your “lead detectives” have less than an hour to solve the case. (Time can be changed to whatever works best for you)

Think Tank
Hey there, I’m Lisa! I’m a curriculum developer, educator, blogger, restless dreamer, and world traveler. I’m also a side-hustling teacher with big dreams! My mission is to help busy teacher mamas go from anxious to confident, and from unnoticed to unstoppable. I love creating one-of-a-kind learning activities for reluctant learners. I truly believe the key to motivated students is challenging, interactive activities with a twist of fun!
