Celebrate winter, as you review math and literacy skills, with these highly engaging winter centers! The Case of the Cocoa Caper Winter Escape Room involves 6 or 8 different winter centers / challenges where students eliminate the suspects and discover who has stolen the hot cocoa!

These Winter Escape Room activities can be used as a Christmas Party or winter math and literacy centers.

Take the stress out of planning a Christmas Party or winter celebration that is magical and educational with these Winter Escape Room activities! This will be a winter your students never forget!

Set the stage with a note from the hot chocolate stand worker:

As we sat down,

For a cozy treat,

We discovered something,

Not so sweet.

The cocoa was missing.

It all disappeared.

Who could have taken it?

A critter we feared.

Complete each challenge,

To receive a clue.

Read each one,

And find 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 of the winter centers have been completed, they will have eliminated all but one suspect!
