Turkey Trouble: A Thanksgiving Math Escape Adventure
Turkey Trouble: A Thanksgiving Math Escape Adventure
What You’ll Find Inside
Gobbles the turkey is missing—and kids have to solve the math mystery before he becomes Thanksgiving dinner!
Turkey Trouble turns fall math review into an active escape-room adventure. Kids search for seven hidden puzzles, solve the math and logic challenges, and collect the clues they need to rescue Gobbles.
Math Practice with a Purpose
Each puzzle brings a different challenge, giving kids a playful way to practice and review:
- Mental addition
- 3-digit addition + subtraction
- Telling time to 5 minutes
- Rounding + place value
- Comparing 3-digit numbers
- Number sense
- Logic + problem solving
Because they're working toward solving a mystery, the math becomes part of the adventure rather than a collection of unrelated practice problems.
Easy to Set Up
Print the seven puzzle pages, cut apart the cards for one puzzle, hide the challenges around the room, and read the opening story. Then send your kids off to find Gobbles.
The puzzles can be solved in any order, making Turkey Trouble work well for individual kids, siblings, small groups, co-ops, or classrooms.
