Middle School Café – Strategies & Support for Middle School ELA Teachers

Digital Escape Rooms with Lyndsey from Lit with Lyns [Ep. 39]


Listen Later

Looking for a way to boost engagement, collaboration, and critical thinking in your ELA classroom? In this episode, I’m joined by Lyndsey from Lit with Lyns to explore the power of digital escape rooms. These interactive games combine puzzles, problem-solving, and content review in a way that motivates students of all ability levels—whether you’re introducing new material or prepping for a big test.

Lyndsey shares how she uses escape rooms in her secondary ELA classroom, including how her very first test prep escape room led to measurable growth on state testing. We’ll also cover tips for creating your own, how to strategically group students for success, and why this low-prep activity works any time of year.
