Escape Rooms are a great way for teachers to provide students with a fun interactive, immersive educational experience outside of the classroom. Here are some of the things that schools and educational groups can experience:
- Teamwork and communication: Escape rooms require students to work together as a team to solve puzzles and escape the room. This helps students develop their teamwork and communication skills.
- Problem-solving: Escape rooms require students to use their problem-solving skills to solve puzzles and riddles. This helps students develop their critical thinking and analytical skills.
- Critical thinking: Escape rooms require students to think critically about the clues and puzzles they are given. This helps students develop their problem-solving and decision-making skills.
- Creativity: Escape rooms often require students to be creative in order to solve puzzles. This helps students develop their imagination and out-of-the-box thinking skills.
- Leadership: Escape rooms can help students develop their leadership skills. This is because students often need to take charge and delegate tasks in order to solve puzzles and escape the room.
- Self-confidence: Escape rooms can help students build their self-confidence. This is because students are often faced with challenges in escape rooms, and they need to overcome these challenges in order to escape.
It’s a great way for students to gain memorable experiences and learn new skills that can be interlinked to the national curriculum and cover topics such as History and STEM.
