ESCAPE ROOMS | Alien Attack

Age Group : 8-10 years

The Escape Room Alien Attack – Escape from School is a book with innovative activities that are in line with the learning objectives of the elementary education curriculum and can be used by students of all grades."Play is the work of childhood" according to Jean Piaget.

Escape rooms are adventurous themed games in which teams of individuals are locked inside a themed room to solve puzzles and complete missions within a short time. These games have attracted strong worldwide interest among parents, children, and educators.

Children aged 8 to 10 must employ their executive functions to escape from the room after the alien cyberattack against their school. This game is a useful educational tool not only for teachers but also for parents who wish to organize, for example, a party for their children.

Proposed by Muriel Lezak in 1982, the term “executive functions" includes the abilities to create, preserve, monitor, and achieve a one-goal action plan. All these “survival skills’’, such as cognitive flexibility, inhibition, monitoring, planning, working memory, decision making, and problem-solving, are cultivated in an entertaining and playful way in this book.

• guidance for students,
