Digital escape games are a fun way to start a unit, or to review at the end of a unit.  They can also be used to learn about a cultural or historical event.  This game will have your students reading carefully and paying attention to the smallest details in order to complete the challenge and unlock the locks.

 

This Cinco de Mayo Spanish game includes:

  • Access to a website where your students can play the game
  • Complete teacher’s guide to playing the game
  • Answer key so you can help students if they get stuck!

 

Your students will enjoy learning without even realizing that they are learning!  The challenging Cinco de Mayo Spanish game format will get them excited about finding the code to unlock each lock – and the format of the clues for each lock will have them paying close attention – there’s no way to solve the puzzles  without being 100% focused!

 

Topics in this game include:

  • Mole Poblano
  • Benito Juarez
  • Mariachi Music
  • Ignacio Zaragosa
  • The Battle of Puebla

 

 

Prep is very easy – you just need to share the website URL with your students.  You may want to test the site before you use it, just to make sure nothing is blocked by your district.  As some of the clues can be challenging to unlock, you may choose to help your students with the trickier ones.  With the teacher guide, you will have the answer key – so you can help guide students towards the correct answer by giving them hints, or if you have limited time, you can adjust the game by reducing the number of locks they need to unlock – just give them the answer(s) to help the activity fit your time constraints.

Do you teach French?  Why should French students miss out?  We also have a Cinq Mai French game for the holiday! Learn about the Battle of Puebla from the French point of view.

    I made this an optional activity for class on Cinco de mayo. Those students who chose to do it were VERY engaged! The creator gave very good instructions and even hints about how to use it when the site might be bogged down by the many users on Cinco de mayo in particular. She even made a custom site so I didn’t have to deal with slow loading of the resources. The only downside was that even though our tech gods unblocked the website, some of the linked sites were still blocked for some students by our internet filters. Not that it reflects poorly on the seller, but just as a heads up to all potential users.
    Thank you! – Jeremee J.
