Hispanic Heritage Month escape room: a 15-slide digital game with a secret-word worksheet, 2 posters and colouring bookmarks, for Grades 2-5 (Years 3-6, KS2).

Pupils travel through six challenges about Spanish-speaking countries, language, food, music and dance, flags and traditions. Each correct answer gives a letter, and the letters unlock the final word.

What is included

• Escape room slideshow (15 slides, 16:9, photographs): title slide, 6 multiple-choice challenges (Mexico, the Spanish language, tacos, salsa, flag colours, why the month is celebrated), a short fact slide after each answer, a synthesis slide and the final key
• Escape room worksheet: write the letter for each answer, solve the secret word, draw something you learned, self-assessment faces
• 2 colour posters: “Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month” (cultural pillars; sights, sounds and tastes) and a 4-panel poster (Spanish-speaking nations, a shared language, flavours and rhythms, traditions and history)
• 24 black and white colouring bookmarks (5 pages): decorated skulls, piñatas, guitars, maracas, traditional foods and dancers

Ways to use

• Whole-class game on the interactive whiteboard (15 September to 15 October)
