STOP THE INFECTION. SAVE THE LAB. MASTER KEY SPaG SKILLS.

Your students aren’t just sitting at their desks. They are locked inside AmGen Laboratories while zombies rattle their containment chambers. They have 60 minutes to correct corrupted files, crack codes, and stop the outbreak before all is lost.

A fully immersive 60-minute classroom simulation designed for Year 5 and 6. Everything is included for zero-prep delivery.

With differentiated challenges for all ability levels, printable room posters, built-in extensions for Greater Depth learners, and a full teacher script, everything is included to deliver a seamless, high-impact lesson with zero prep.

What’s Included:
5 full-colour posters to transform your classroom into AmGen Laboratories
Quick Start Guide for instant setup
Teacher Command Centre: detailed instructions, full teacher script, data tracker with answers and hints
Differentiated Clue Sheets: Support, Expected, and Greater Depth
Challenge expansions for fast finishers and Greater Depth learners
Student response sheets (Containment Reports)
Survival Certificates and Lead Scientist Awards
Bonus: Custom 60-minute countdown timer to build tension, maintain pace, and signal rotations

How It Works:
Working in teams, students move through five stages of the outbreak:
Receive their mission briefing and take on their role in the AmGen Security Team
Analyse corrupted lab data and correct SPaG errors to unlock each stage
Solve logic puzzles to reveal the final containment code
Shout out the code and stop the infection before the clock hits zero

Skills Covered:
Sentence structure
Capitalization & punctuation
Grammar & usage
Spelling
Editing and proofreading
KS2 SPaG assessment skills

What Makes This Different?

This isn’t just another escape room.

✔ Designed as a full classroom simulation, not a worksheet activity
✔ Built for immersion, engagement, and urgency
✔ Keeps students of all ability levels actively involved from start to finish
✔ A true alternative to “death by PowerPoint” lessons

Perfect For:
Year 5 & Year 6 (KS2)
SPaG revision sessions
Post SATs and End-of-term activities
“Fun Friday” lessons
Cover lessons / sub plans
Class rewards with educational value

Why Teachers Love It:
Saves hours of planning for a full lesson
No prep – just print and go
Three differentiation levels mean no student is left out
High engagement with minimal behaviour issues
Combines critical thinking with essential grammar skills
A memorable, high-energy alternative to traditional lessons

**AmGen Labs is in lockdown. The outbreak is spreading. And your pupils are the only response team left.** This is a complete story-driven grammar unit built around one connected narrative — the Zombie Outbreak! Your pupils will edit corrupted data, crack codes, navigate the facility, eliminate suspects, and ultimately face the full Lab Lockdown classroom escape room experience. Grammar revision has never had higher stakes. Every activity in this bundle uses the same storyline, so pupils stay immersed in the world while rotating through completely different activity formats. It works as a themed unit, a literacy rotation, a post-SATs reward week, or a ready-to-go cover lesson that runs itself. **How to Run It as a Unit** Day 1: Launch the outbreak with the Fix the Sentences starter activity. Introduce the world and hook the class. Day 2-3: Work through the puzzle pack and differentiated editing challenge. Build the grammar skills pupils will need for the escape room.
