Greek and Latin roots escape rooms for grade 8
Four self-checking escape rooms on Greek and Latin word roots for grade 8. In each one students solve a mystery through seven locks (a crossword, scrambled roots, a secret message, matching, word building and odd one out), earning a root from each, then put two roots together to crack the case. They suit English language arts and vocabulary lessons as well as Latin and Greek classes.
No logins and nothing to install. Try the first two locks of any room free. See the roots rooms for every grade.
