Who can attend: FSL teachers who are willing to create Escape Room boxes to be kept within the FLRC collection.
FSL teachers! Come join Diana Boisvert, Trisha Paetsch and Chris Fedorick, owner of Trapped Interactive Escape Game in Grande Prairie to learn how to create escape room activities for the FSL classroom. As a group, we will learn from Chris how to build effective puzzles using outcomes and themes from the Alberta curriculum. The finished escape room boxes will be available to borrow from the FLRC collection at the Grande Prairie Public Library.
Day 1—April 28, 2020 (Full Day)—GoTo Meeting
Chris will teach us how to build effective puzzles and plan for games that will be both fun and instructive. We will spend some time in smaller groups, brainstorming and starting to plan our games.
Day 2—May 20, 2020 (Full Day)—GoTo Meeting
Small groups will develop the games collaboratively, with input from Chris as needed.
Day 3—June 10, 2020 (Full Day)—GoTo Meeting
Small groups will build the games collaboratively, writing clues and creating a list of supplies needed.
Day 4—Date to be determined (Full Day)—GoTo Meeting or In person
Chris will try to solve all of our escape room boxes and provide feedback as needed. Teachers will then have time to modify their escape room boxes.
What will you get from this? You will learn how to create escape room puzzles from an expert. You will get to meet and work collaboratively with other FSL teachers from our area. You will contribute to the collection at the FLRC and create useful materials that can be used in your own classroom without taking up shelf space when you are finished!
