Turn grammar review into an exciting week-long mystery with this engaging Prepositions of Time and Place Escape Activity! Instead of traditional worksheets, students solve a series of grammar challenges to uncover the identity of the Golden Swirl Lollipop thief.
As students complete each of the 7 structured tasks, they earn clues that allow them to eliminate suspects. By the end of the escape, only one suspect remains. This interactive format keeps students motivated while reinforcing essential grammar skills in a meaningful way.
This printable escape activity is designed to be assigned as homework over the course of a week, two weeks, or even a month. It also works beautifully for sub plans, enrichment, end-of-unit review, or grammar centers. Printable rewards such as bookmarks and homework passes are included to boost student engagement.
