How do my students use this resource?

Robot's Rule Harmony Day Escape Room begins with students introduced to the scenario with a unique video desgined to hook your students. In Robot's Rule Escape Room the school principal has been replaced with a discriminatory robot determined to eliminate difference. Your students have been tasked with discovering the codes that will deprogram the robot and save Harmony Day!

Each of the four tasks has content focused on Harmony Day and is aligned to Year 5 and 6 outcomes from the Australian Curriculum V9. Your students should have prior knowledge of Harmony Day vocabulary along with why we celebrate Harmony Day in Australia..

Clear instructions are provided for teachers to run the Escape Room in their classroom, even if they have never used an Escape Room before. In small groups, with a partner or even individually, students work to complete 4 individual tasks. The tasks focus on completing a puzzle using knowledge of synonyms, decoding riddles and identifying national dishes that are then matched to national flags. The third task has student complete mathematical word problems based of population migration, using their answers to navigate through a maze. Finally students use their knowlege of Harmony Day to complete a crossword puzzle.

With each task completed students will identify a code. After each task this code must be checked. This can be done manually by the classroom teacher, or self-marked using Code envelopes. Alternatively if you have access to technology in your classroom a QR code and Google Form have been created. Students enter the code into the Google Form. If correct students progress to the next task until all four tasks are completed.This means no teacher marking!
