Let’s Discover Amphibians, Fish, and Reptiles!

Are your students animal enthusiasts? Chances are, they love all things creepy-crawly, so they’re going to love it when you start teaching them about animal characteristics and groups. Hopping frogs, slithering snakes, and swimming seahorses are top-tier science topics, so you must find something new, fun, and engaging to bring the topic to life. 

That’s where we come in! The Teach Starter Team has put together the perfect activity– an Animal Science Escape Room!

Amphibians, Fish, and Reptiles Escape Room!

Mr Frog has lost his way and found himself in an unfamiliar place. He needs help getting back to his nice, safe pond, and your students are the perfect helpers. 

In this immersive escape room experience, students will become animal detectives, using their knowledge of the features of amphibians, fish, and reptiles to crack code and guide our froggy friend home. The escape room includes a dynamic slide deck that unveils clues about each animal group, keeping participants on the edge of their seats as they navigate through the quest to return Mr Frog to his rightful place.

This escape room resource doesn’t stop with solving puzzles—it’s a complete learning experience! It includes an interactive workbook designed to reinforce knowledge of animal groups and their characteristics. From matching the right characteristics to each animal to solving mind-bending animal riddles, this escape room activity will encourage your students to ‘leap’ into Science like never before!

Download Your Animal Escape Room and Hop Into Fun!

Use the dropdown menu to choose between the PowerPoint or Google Slide version of the interactive part. You’ll also need to download the student workbook, which is available as an editable slide deck or a quick-print PDF. 

Each student will need their own copy of the student workbook.
