Description
A mysterious snow globe appears, and a snowman is trapped inside. Your 4th graders must solve three winter math puzzles to discover the lock combination, find the hidden key, and press the snowflake buttons in the correct order to help him escape.
Choose the low-prep black-and-white printable escape room or the automated, self-checking digital version in Google Forms™. The snowman and winter theme does not mention a specific holiday, making it useful for a snow day or before or after winter break.

- Printable: Give students each clue one at a time or assemble the pages into a packet. Students can work independently, with partners, in small groups, or as a whole class.
