Genially's escape room templates are designed to be adaptable for a wide range of grade levels. The platform offers a variety of themes and levels of complexity, allowing educators to tailor the content to their students' ages and learning objectives. For example, simpler games like Candyland or Children's Game templates are well-suited for younger students, while more intricate scenarios, such as the Artificial Intelligence Escape Room or Time Machine Escape, are ideal for older students seeking a challenge. Educators can customize these templates to align with their curriculum, making them versatile tools for engaging students across different educational stages.

In the Classroom
Customize a Genially escape room (like Education Escape Room or Mystery Breakout) with questions and puzzles that review key concepts from your current unit--perfect as a fun pre-test or review session. Divide students into small groups and assign each group a different puzzle or task within the escape game. This activity encourages teamwork, communication, and shared problem-solving as they work toward a common goal. Challenge students to create their digital escape rooms using Genially's templates. They must design puzzles, write clues, and embed subject content, transforming them from game players into game designers. Use a breakout template to reinforce vocabulary. Each "lock" can be opened only by correctly defining or using academic terms in context, making it ideal for ELA, science, or history.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

At the same time, the accompanying activities guide students through reflection, goal setting, and mindset-shifting language.

This deceptively simple-looking site offers an easy way to encourage continuous, non-stop writing. Users set a goal of either words or time and choose start. If you stop typing for too long, all your words vanish, creating pressure to keep moving and preventing over-editing or getting stuck. This exercise serves as a tool to encourage brainstorming, freewriting, overcoming writer's block, and practicing flow state writing.
In the Classroom
Use this tool to help students develop writing fluency so they can focus on ideas rather than grammar and spelling rules. Ghost Writer is also an excellent tool for activating schema when starting a new unit. Ask students to set the timer and write nonstop about what they know about the upcoming unit's content or what they don't know. In science class, use Ghost Writer as a hypothesis brain dump, or use it as part of reading lessons for students to share all they know about characters from a novel you are reading. Extend learning by asking students to take their ideas and develop them further in Google Docs or Microsoft Word.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
