Halloween Treasure Hunt Escape Room | K–2 Math & Literacy Turn your classroom into a Halloween treasure hunt! In this hands-on Halloween escape room, students solve 6 spooky missions to find letters and numbers, read map coordinates, follow clues, and work together to discover where the hidden treasure is waiting! Instead of simply solving worksheets, students become treasure hunters and move through the classroom from one location to the next. HOW THE TREASURE HUNT WORKS Each mission includes a mission mat and cut-apart cards.
