Fun Escape the Room like activity for kids on Eid!
Instructions
You will need:
- The key to a room
- All the papers in the file below
- Optional: Envelopes
Print all the pages of the file. Cut out the clues. You can put the clues in seperate envelopes or glue them onto colored paper if you want to.
Each challenge can also be put into envelopes, as well as the secret code language. But if you don't have any envelopes, then that's fine as well.
To begin: Put the Eid gifts in a room, lock the door to the room, and hide the key somewhere in the fridge. The goal of the entire "activity" is that the kids are going to collect clues by completing 4 different challenges. Once they've done that, they are going to figure out what the clues are, and the clues will lead them to look for the key in the fridge.
Put the letter and the first challenge by the door to the locked room. It's important that they see and read the letter BEFORE beginning with the first challenge.
Once they've completed the first challenge it's time for the next one, and it continues this way until they've received all 4 clues and can begin decoding the clues.
An adult gives the kids the clues each time they've completed a challenge. If the kids get stuck with something in a challenge, the adult can give hints.
ALTERNATIVE VERSION: If you want to change what the kids will look for & what the clues are, then I've also uploaded an alternative version that you can print and then add your own information in the letter and also your own clues.

This is a banner with the text "EID MUBARAK". You can download it by clicking on the file right under this picture; there you'll find 5 PDF-files with all the letters on them.
After printing all the pages (preferrably on thicker paper/photo paper if possible, but it's not a must) you'll have to cut out all the triangles with the letters.
Cut right inside the dark outline of the triangles (the outline is not supposed to be a part of the triangle, it's just there to help with the cutting).
After that, you can make two holes at the top of the triangle with a hole punch. And then get some string or anything that might suit it and thread it through the holes, with the letters in the right order.

Instructions: See picture below! Only difference is that it says "Happy Eid!" on these ones (unlike the picture). Start by printing it, and then cut out the bag by cutting just at the inside of the grey line (the grey line is not supposed to be a part of the bag, it's just there for indicating where to cut). Then, fold in the two flaps on the right and left to the back and glue them together. Fold up the small flap at the bottom, also to the back, and glue that on to the other two flaps. Let dry :)
