These Beach Day Escape Room activities can be used for a Beach Day, an End of Year Party or end of the year themed math and literacy centers.

Make the end of the year a memorable (and learning-filled) celebration with these beach day end of the year escape room activities!

Set the stage with a note from a beach goer:

I had a beach day,

Scheduled and planned.

But first I need you,

To lend a hand!

The beach bag is gone.

Where did it go?

Who could have it,

I do not know!

Complete each challenge,

And when you’re done,

Eliminate the suspects.

One by one!

After the students complete each challenge, they will receive a clue from the culprit. A suspect will be eliminated after each challenge. Once all of the beach day centers have been completed, they will have eliminated all but one suspect!
