As a room mom for the last time (a little sad about this but mostly relieved that I don't have to do this next year), we were tasked with planning a Fall Party for our double class. (Teachers work in pairs in our school - one teaches Math and Science, the other Language Arts and Reading). We had 2 hours to fill and 46 kids to entertain, so we needed something to keep them busy but still happy. Enter the escape room.
We found The Lost Mummy online and printed it all out. And then, we tried to solve it as adults and found it to be a bit challenging for us in our time frame, so we made a few modifications. We were hoping it was enough. And since we couldn't have 46 kids working on the escape room at the same time, we also decided to have a "sugar" room with bobbing for donuts and cupcake decorating. Through in some pizza and fresh fruit and you have a 10-year-olds dream party.
We had a great time, as did the kids. But we also learned our lesson for the Holiday Party - nothing too complicated and nothing that involves math.
Waiting to get into the Mummy room.
Hard at work solving the mystery and how to escape...
Their team did it!
Pizz and cupcakes. I missed her decorating hers.
Bobbing for donuts. Not as easy as it looks.
She finally got it but had powdered sugar everywhere (even her ears)!
Happy Fall, Y'all!
