Description

Celebrate Thanksgiving, as you review math and literacy skills, with these highly engaging Thanksgiving centers. The Case of the Pumpkin Pie Bandit Thanksgiving Escape Room can be used as a Thanksgiving Harvest Party or Thanksgiving math and literacy centers.

Your students will be highly engaged as they complete 6 or 8 different challenges to eliminate the suspects and discover which disguised turkey has stolen the pumpkin pies!

Take the stress out of planning a Thanksgiving celebration that is magical and educational with these Thanksgiving centers! This will be a Thanksgiving your students never forget!

Set the stage with a note from the pie shop owner:

A tricky turkey,

Dressed in disguise,

Snatched up all,

The pumpkin pies!

Please can you help,

Solve this mystery,

And find the bandit,

Who took them from me?

Complete each challenge,

To receive a clue.

Eliminate the suspects,

And figure out who!

After the students complete each challenge, they will receive a clue from the culprit. A suspect will be eliminated after each challenge. Once all the Thanksgiving centers have been completed, they will have eliminated all but one suspect!

    This was very engaging right before spring break! Very developmentally appropriate for K!

  3. Angela H. –

    My students LOVE this activity…they would get so upset if we didn’t do it as part of our centers! We love these escape rooms!

  4. Lisa M. –

    This resource was so fun! I was worried that it might be too hard for my kdg students. They loved it!

  5. Kimberly C. –

    They loved finding the turkey. This was their first time finding the animal on their own and they really enjoyed the simplistic directions.

  6. Little Loves LC –

    This is a wonderful resource! My students really enjoyed it!

  7. Tanya D. –

    This was a great way to get in some reviewing while having a bit of fun before break! My students loved getting to be “Thanksgiving Investigators”.

  8. Brittany P. –

    I got this resource after the holiday, but I have looked through it and can’t wait to use it next year with my kiddos!

  9. Ashley Sanchez in First –

    Last year was the first year using one of your escape rooms and my students were so engaged! I ended up buying all of them to use in my classroom!

  10. Dana L. –

    This was a great hands-on Thanksgiving activity. My students loved being detectives with their briefcases and solving the mystery!

  11. Malinda Brownfield –

    We did this activity the day before Thanksgiving break. My kids enjoyed it and it helped to reinforce skills that we have been working on. It also helped me to see what skills my students still need to work on. They had a great time with this activity!

  12. Miss Rachel’s Resources –

    My students LOVED this activity! Lots of prep work but it was definitely worth it. I laminated and will be using again for the years to come!

  13. Zadell S. –

    Thank you! My students loved this as a fun review!

  14. Lori S. –

    Great activities that kept students engaged!! Can be completed whole class or in small groups, which makes it even better.

  15. Suzanna J. –

    Great resource. My students enjoyed this resource.

  16. Tina W. –

    My students loved this activity. We spent the day completing the challenges and solving the mystery. Challenges were a great review before our Thanksgiving break. If I had thought about it sooner, I would have brought pumpkin pie for snack! Ready for a Christmas escape room.

  17. Jennifer M. –

    My class loved participating in this activity. It was great for the kids, but would have been helpful to have a few more directions to prepare the activity.

  18. Catherine Hoop –

    My kindergarteners loved figuring out which turkey was the bandit. However, I will say that playing the included centers just for the day was a littler overwhelming for them. Next time I will probably use activities my students are already comfortable with and just use the clues.

  19. Vicki F. –

    Love love love love this activity!!!!! My students thought it was so funny that someone stole my pies and we are going to figure out who. They were so engaged with the activity because they knew it was going to give us a clue to figure out who stole my pies. I plan to purchase more of these!

  20. Loving E. –

    Absolutely loved this!!!! had a lot of fun.
