Here are our winners of a Constitution Day escape room as our 9/17 celebration. 

Thanks for the pocket Constitutions. Can't wait to use! 

The kids start with some readings about the Constitution. Just like some fun fact type of stuff. Then there are four clues around the room that they work in small groups to solve. The codes/clues are kind of like puzzles and ciphers that they solve. One is a morse code, another is like a grid cipher. As they solve those codes they also get other facts like Franklin's age when signing the document, the number of signers that became president, and the such. 

Meanwhile they also need to answer some questions on some of the Amendments, or what is in specific Articles and things like that. As they solve the final clues they got a final paper where they need to piece all of their clues, multiple choice answers, and some math where they get the code that opens up a box that contains that pictured replica of the Constitution and a smal lprize that's a homework pass. First team to open the box wins.
